Planar Antennas

From Remcom (USA)
 

 

The release of an extremely wide spectrum of 3.110.6 GHz for commercial applications has greatly spurred the research and development of microwave ultrawideband (UWB) technology for communications, imaging, radar, and localization applications. In accordance, many techniques to broaden the impedance bandwidth of small antennas and to optimize the characteristics of the broadband antennas have been widely investigated. This article reviews the state of the art in broadband antennas for emerging UWB applications and addresses the important issues of the broadband antenna design for UWB applications. First, a variety of planar monopoles with finite ground planes are reviewed. Next, the roll antennas with enhanced radiation performance are outlined. After that, the planar antennas printing on PCBs are described. A directional antipodal Vivaldi antenna is also presented for UWB applications. Last, a UWB antenna for wearable applications is exemplified.
