Abstract

This paper reports the design of a Microstrip patch antenna for the first band of Ultra Wide Band (UWB) frequency range of 3.1-3.6 GHz. As the bandwidth requirement is around 500MHz, finite ground plane approach has been incorporated in the antenna design. The designed antenna provides a gain of 5.9dB which is observed to be a better compared to the conventional antennas designed for the specified frequency range. The maximum directivity achieved is 6.16dB and the radiation efficiency obtained is about 80%. The designed antenna is well suited for indoor applications where high data rate and quick transmission are important requirements.
