Design of Dual Band Mono Pole Antenna for UWB and Ku Band Applications

Abstract

Over the past few decades, the evolution in new-fashioned wireless communication systems has actuated augmented exploration on uncomplicated dual band antennas. A compact dual band mono pole antenna for UWB and Ku Band Applications is proposed. The antenna consists of a corner truncated rectangular patch etched on cost effective FR4-substrate with thickness 1.6mm and is fed with 50 ohms feed line. The ground plane is truncated to enhance impedance matching and bandwidth. The proposed antenna has the ability to operate from 3.40 GHz to 10.67 GHz and 13.48 GHz to 15.87 GHz with return loss below -10 dB. The HFSS is used to design and simulate the antennas behavior over the different frequency ranges. The simulated results of the proposed antenna indicate higher gain at the two bands. The measured results demonstrated reasonable agreement with the simulated results.
