Abstract
A novel thin film super-wideband (SWB) antenna is presented. The proposed antenna consists of a moon shaped monopole and a square ground plane. The dimensions of the proposed antenna are 45 × 34 × 0.3 mm3. The antenna operates over an impedance bandwidth of 171% (3.0-40.0 GHz), and ratio bandwidth 13:1 with return loss of 10 dB or more. The performance of the antenna in frequency domain is investigated, and a good agreement is achieved between the simulation and experimental results. This antenna can be used in ultra-wideband (UWB) or super-wideband (SWB) applications.
