Ultra-Wideband CPW-fed Printed Monopole Antenna for 5G and CubeSat Applications

An ultra-wide band (UWB) linearly polarized CPW-fed printed monopole antenna is designed. The proposed antenna has a total size of 1.08λ0×1.08λ0 ×0.23λ0 operates in C-band, achieves a wide -10 dB impedance bandwidth and a high gain. To maintain the UWB feature and to enhance the radiation performance, the circular shaped patch, and the Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) respectively. Moreover, the multi in-phase properties of AMC’s unit cell leads to a significant increase of the total gain. The simulation results show a UWB of 193.1% (4.8-16 GHz) and a octal gain of 8.9 dBi at an operating frequency of 5.8 GHz.
