EFFECT OF RECTANGULAR GROUND SLOT IN A MICROSTRIP LINE FED MONOPOLE UWB ANTENNA FOR MULTIBAND APPLICATIONS

摘要

The effect of a simple rectangular ground slot in a microstrip line fed monopole antenna is presented in this article. The antenna is primarily designed for ultrawideband communication (3.1-10.6 GHz). Parametric analysis of the rectangular ground slot results in three single wide band (3.25-10.55 GHz, 3.21-5.835 GHz, 7.39-9.33 GHz) and two dual band resonant states (3.31-6.43 GHz, 6.93-7.34GHz and 2.27-2.5 GHz, 3.2-6.23 GHz) of the antenna.
