Novel design of ultra wideband vertical slotted triangular (VST) sheet antenna

Abstract

In this paper, a new design of Ultra Wide Band (UWB) antenna is proposed. The antenna parameters in frequency domain analysis have been investigated to show its capability as an effective radiating element. The voltage standing wave ratio is less than 2 (VSWR<; 2) and return loss (S11) is less than -10 dB along the operation bandwidth of 4 GHz to 17 GHz. The simulated return loss, VSWR, input impedance and radiation pattern are presented in this paper. The antenna is very useful for impulse and UWB communication systems (in radar communication, for military application (defense department), bio-medical technology, space communication through satellite) and as proposed antenna has end fire radiation pattern it is very useful in point to point communication with very high gain performance.
