A Compact Planar Monopole Antenna for Ultra-wideband Operation

A novel planar monopole antenna of small dimensions is proposed for ultra-wideband (UWB) operation. With the use of a planar monopole microstrip feed and a subminiature version A (SMA) connector, the proposed antenna has a very wide impedance bandwidth...
The United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has opened the radio spectrum from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz, permitting the use of a new unlicensed radio transmission technology, the UWB system. UWB systems entail sharp sub-nanosecond pulses, and occupy a wide band with the only restriction being a limit on...
