Wideband Printed Antenna Design Techniques: A Comprehensive Study

摘要

Wideband (WB) antennas are extensively used in biomedical communication systems, due to their cost-effectiveness and high data rate handling capacity. In these applications, printed antennas are preferred due to their low power requirement; these antennas are ready to cover the wide range of frequencies, starting from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz; it has been possible to generate required omnidirectional radiation patterns, and such antennas are simple and small in configuration. In this work, an attempt is made to bring out to design and analyze methods of WB printed antennas in the comprehensive background representation which enables designers to go for suitable structures depending on the application and user specifications.
