A coaxial fed solid half conical monopole antenna for multiple wireless and Satellite Communications

Abstract

A coaxial fed half conical shaped monopole antenna is presented for ultra-wideband (UWB) and many other wireless services. This antenna support Bluetooth 4.0 or wireless USB, wireless local area networks (WLAN), RADAR application and Satellite Communication in X band (8–12GHz) and Ku band (12–18) applications. The antenna is fabricated of solid copper and excited by coaxial probe. The simulated and experimental results demonstrate that this antenna achieves 137% impedance bandwidth for VSWR ≤ 2 and exhibits a nearly omnidirectional radiation pattern in both planes.
