Abstract:

Ultra Wideband (UWB) communication systems have the advantages of very high bandwidth, fading minimization from multipath, and low power requirements. As per the standards of Fedaral Communications Commission (FCC), the UWB range is 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz.The Ultra Wideband (UWB) is rapidly advancing as a high data rate wireless communication technology.The Bandwidth of an antenna can be extended to high frequencies by adding an octagonal or hexagonal strip horizontally from the printed antenna and asymmetrically affix a conducting strip to the antenna. The paper describes thedesign of antenna to enhance the bandwidth by increasing the size of the strip monopole by different geometries. Thegeometry of the wide Octagonal strip monopole is a Octagon of side 'a=9mm' where as for the wide Hexagon monopole is a Hexagon of side ‘a=10mm’.The stripis designed with a length of 23mm and gap 'd=3mm' between ground planes and strip for both the antenna geometries to achieve matching. The two printed monopole antennas are designed are etched onto a FR-4 epoxy substrate with an overall size of 45mm × 60mm ×1.6 mm.The proposed antennas is simulated by using Ansoft HFSS and tested by Vector Network Analyzer (E5071C) to obtain the results.
