  • Abstract
    A coplanar wave guide (CPW) fed semicircular slot antenna (SSA) with step impedance transformer is presented. Omni-directional radiation pattern in whole band with theoretical gain of 3 dBi with variation of plusmn0.5 dB is achieved. It has shown that this design of SSA gives experimental bandwidth of 10.7 GHz for VSWR < 2. Present results show suitability of structure for UWB communication.
