A miniaturized CPW-fed rocket shaped UWB antenna for wireless applications

A novel compact Ultra wideband antenna fed by CPW is presented. The antenna has a size of 23 mm × 27 mm. It provides band width ranging from 2.7 GHz to 10.6 GHz. The antenna can be easily integrated with radio frequency circuit for low cost. Details of antenna are presented with parametric study. The bandwidth is varied by varying the intrusion depth L
₂
and distance `g' between conducting plane and ground and thus ultra wideband with is obtained. The antenna is Omni directional in operating range and it has good radiation efficiency. The fundamental parameters return loss, VSWR, radiation pattern are obtained, which meet standard specifications. Method of moments based IE3D simulator is used to analyze antenna.
