Small printed CPW‐fed triangular monopole antenna for ultra‐wideband applications

A novel small size coplanar waveguide (CPW)‐fed monopole antenna with wide bandwidth and small group delay variation is proposed for ultra‐wideband (UWB) applications. It consists of a triangular patch with a pair of wide stubs on the lower sides thereof and linearly tapered coplanar ground planes. The measured return loss of the fabricated antenna is better than −10 dB from 2.9 to 13.2 GHz. The radiation pattern is nearly omni‐directional and the variation of the measured group delay between two proposed antennas is less than 0.94 ns over the entire UWB band. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
