Abstract

We proposed an egg shaped microstrip antenna with circular slot for Ultra Wideband Frequency (UWB) applications. The Antena was investigated by performing simulation and measurement. The antenna was fabricated on Phenolic White Paper materials - FR4 with dielectric constant (εr) = 4.5 and thicknes of 1.6 mm. From simulations and measurements, our antenna achieved UWB operating frequency of 1000 to 2700 MHz with a bandwidth of 1700 MHz. The highest gain value located at a frequency of 1.5 GHz of 5.25 dBi. The radiation pattern of antenna is bidirectional. © 2006-2014 Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN).
