CPW-Fed Super-Wideband Antenna With Modified Vertical Bow-Tie-Shaped Patch for Wireless Sensor Networks

In this paper a coplanar waveguide-fed super-wideband antenna is presented for wireless sensor networks. The studied low-profile design is comprised of a modified bow-tie-shaped vertical patch and two asymmetrical ground planes and has been prototyped on a single-sided FR4 microwave substrate. The anticipated antenna has an overall size of $0.25\lambda \times 0.20\lambda $ at 3.035 GHz, the lowest frequency of the operating band. The vertical radiator coupled well with the two coplanar ground planes which enabled the studied antenna to achieve an operating band of 3.035–17.39 GHz (140.56%). The presented antenna demonstrates almost omnidirectional radiation patterns over the entire operating with an average gain of 4.56 dBi and average efficiency of 76.62%. The antenna also features with high fidelity factor, flat group delay, small phase distortion, and good response of transfer function. All these characteristics of the studied antenna make it a robust contender for wireless sensor node applications.
