CPW-fed Phi shaped SWB monopole antenna

Abstract

A compact CPW-fed Phi shaped super wideband monopole antenna is presented. An impedance bandwidth of 3.8 to 38 GHz is achieved by using phi shaped radiator, coplanar waveguide feedline and quarter elliptical ground plane. It provided good radiation performance characteristics. A good agreement between the simulated and experimental results is achieved. © 2015 IEEE.
