Abstract

In this paper, the hexagonal shaped patch antenna feed by Co-Planar Waveguide (CPW) has been designed and analyzed using method of moments based electromagnetic simulator IE3D.The antenna is fabricated using a substrate having a dielectric constant of 4.4 (relative permittivity=4.4) and thickness of 1.6mm. The simulated results such as return loss, efficiency, Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR)and Gain are investigated. The antenna having a return loss less than -10dB from 2.9GHz to 12GHz which is applicable to Ultra Wide Band (UWB) Application. The point of attraction of this antenna is the use of single patch which makes it easy to fabricate.
