Description
Summary:In this paper, very compact (12mm×17mm) and simple UWB antenna is proposed. The achieved bandwidth of the presented antenna is from 3.05 GHz to 12.5 GHz and in the most of the bandwidth, the return loss is less than -20dB. In addition to frequency characteristics, time characteristics such as group delay variations for three different antenna positions, namely, front to front, back to back and side by side using CST MW studio are simulated and discussed. To improve the group delay variations, by changing the radius of the circle on the back side of the antenna, the antenna gain in different frequencies will be tuned, therefore, the time domain characteristics of the proposed antenna are greatly improved.
