Abstract

In this paper, we have proposed a hexagonal patch UWB antenna with a band notch characteristic where the notch band of 5.15 ~ 5.85 GHz band of WLAN was induced by inserting a circular slit in the patch. The impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna meet the band width criteria of UWB communication system where is mentioned as frequencies range form 3.1 ~ 11.8 GHz. The characteristic band at 5.2 ~ 5.8 GHz notch band was observed. The radiation pattern of the antenna shows a directinal radiation pattern at $0^{\circ}$ and $180^{\circ}$ in XZ-plane and YZ-plane is an omni-directional pattern, respectively. In addition, it is observed that increase in frequency results in increases of the antenna gain whereas the notch band section is decreased. The proposed antenna was designed TRF-45 substrate with thickness of 1.62 mm, a loss tangent of 0.0035, a relative permittivity of 4.5 and designed were used Ansys Inc. HFSS.

본 논문에서는 노치 대역 특성을 갖는 UWB 육각형 패치 안테나를 제안하였다. 노치 대역은 WLAN의 5.15 ~ 5.85 GHz 대역이며, 원형 슬릿을 패치에 삽입하여 유도하였다. 제안된 안테나의 임피던스 대역폭은 3.1 ~ 11.85 GHz 대역으로 UWB 통신 시스템의 대역폭을 만족하였으며, 5.2 ~ 5.8 GHz 대역에서 노치 대역 특성을 보였다. 안테나의 방사패턴은 XZ-plane에서 $0^{\circ}$와 $180^{\circ}$에서 지향성의 패턴을 보이며, YX-plane에서 무지향성 패턴을 보인다. 또한, 주파수가 증가할수록 안테나 이득도 증가하며, 노치 대역 구간에서는 안테나 이득이 감소하였다. 제안된 안테나는 두께 1.62 mm, 손실 탄젠트 0.0035, 유전율 4.5를 갖는 TRF-45 기판에 설계되었으며, 설계는 Ansys사의 HFSS를 사용하였다.
