Circular and Elliptical CPW-Fed Slot and Microstrip-Fed Antennas for Ultrawideband Applications

This article presents novel circular and elliptical coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed slot and mictrostip-fed antenna designs targeting the 3.1–10.6 GHz band. The antennas are comprised of elliptical or circular stubs that excite similar-shaped slot apertures. Four prototypes have been examined, fabricated and experimentally tested, the three being fed by a CPW and the fourth by a microstrip line, exhibiting a very satisfactory behavior throughout the 7.5 GHz of the allocated bandwidth in terms of impedance matching (VSWR 2), radiation efficiency and radiation pattern characteristics.
