Gain Enhancement in Ultra-Wideband Antenna Using Frequency Selective Surfaces

In this paper, an ultra wide band (UWB) antenna is proposed for wireless applications. The antenna under investigation is fed by a 50 ohm microstrip line. The basic shape of the frequency selective surface reflector and monopole is presented in paper. A significant enhancement in the gain has been achieved in a low profile and compactness of UWB antenna with good impedance matching. The gain of antenna has been increased 1.54dB to 3.92dB as a consequence of the use of frequency selective surface reflector. The proposed antenna is studied thoroughly and presented in the paper. .
