Abstract

A low-profile compact ultrawideband (UWB) monopolar antenna for maximizing frequency coverage is proposed. The proposed antenna comprises metallic wire-discone and printed meander-line dipoles. The antenna is designed in CST Microwave Studio for full-wave analysis. A coaxial feed method is employed. The structure is mechanically stable and has a reduced weight for mounting over vehicles. The antenna covers a wide frequency range with more than 4 GHz bandwidth in addition to the 900 MHz GSM band coverage and provides a good omnidirectional radiation pattern. The antenna's performance in the presence of different radome shapes is also investigated. A cost-effective and locally available rectangular plastic radome is used for measurements. The antenna is fabricated and measured in the presence of the radome. Simulated and measured results are in good agreement. The proposed design is compact with UWB characteristics making it suitable for multiple applications, e.g., GSM, Wi-Fi, WLAN, and vehicular.

期刊介绍： IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters (AWP Letters) is devoted to the rapid electronic publication of short manuscripts in the technical areas of Antennas and Wireless Propagation. These are areas of competence for the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S). AWPL aims to be one of the "fastest" journals among IEEE publications. This means that for papers that are eventually accepted, it is intended that an author may expect his or her paper to appear in IEEE Xplore, on average, around two months after submission.
