Design of a new compact printed monopole antenna with Y-shaped slot for ultra-wideband applications

In This paper, the design and analysis of a new compact printed antenna for UWB applications are presented. This antenna consists of a pentagon patch with Y-shaped slot and a partial ground plane with a periodic rectangular slot. The effect of various parameters on UWB characteristics has been analyzed by using 3D electromagnetic Simulator CST Microwave Studio and Momentum Software integrated into Advanced Design System. The final prototype of the proposed antenna operates from 2.7GHZ to 14.7GHz, corresponding to wide input impedance bandwidth (173.9%). The proposed antenna can be easily integrated with radio-frequency or microwave circuits with low cost manufacturing. Details of the proposed antenna design and simulated results are described and discussed.
