Abstract

In this study, we develop and experimentally evaluate an ultra-wideband (UWB) slot antenna with a polygon tuning stub. The proposed antenna consists of a polygon slot with a $50-{\Omega}$ feed line. The effects of various parameters of the polygon-shaped slot and the polygon tuning stub on UWB applications are investigated. The optimum parameters were obtained using the Ansys HFSS software. The results of the studies on the surface current distributions of the operating frequency bands were discussed. The proposed antenna is fabricated on an inexpensive FR-4 substrate with the overall dimensions of $28.0mm{\times}30.0mm$. The measured results confirm that the proposed antenna covers frequencies from 2.58 GHz to 13.27 GHz, which is the UWB frequency range. Further, the proposed UWB antenna also exhibited that omni-directionality in the H-plane gain varied from 1.185 to 7.246 dBi. The good antenna characteristics of the proposed antenna make it suitable for UWB system applications.
