Abstract

In this paper, a rectangular metallic monopole antenna with normal rectangular stubs is presented for application in ultra-wide band communication systems. It is shown by computer simulations (HFSS and CST) and actual fabrication and measurement that the addition of protruding normal metallic stubs lead to the increase of impedance band width. The optimum design of geometrical dimensions of the antenna (consisting of the monopole plate and stubs) achieves up to 10 dB return loss in the UWB (3.1-10.6 GHz) frequency range. The radiation efficiency of antenna is better than 95%. Furthermore, the antenna provides linear polarization, with quite low cross-polarization levels.
