Planar UWB antenna with multi‐slotted ground plane

A planar antenna with a multi-slotted ground plane has been proposed for UWB applications. The compact antenna having a total size of 30 × 22 mm2 consists of a square patch and a partial ground plane. The rectangular slots on the top side of the ground plane help to increase the bandwidth. The measured result shows that the proposed antenna achieves a bandwidth (VSWR ≤ 2) ranges from 2.57 to 16.72 GHz. Details of the proposed antenna and measured results are presented and discussed. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
