The variation of S11 depending on the ground sizes of circular planar monopole UWB antenna was studied. And optimal ground structure and size in UWB application devices are proposed. Radius R of circular monopole UWB antenna as a reference antenna was designed for UWB frequency band, and the measured results of this antenna on the horizontal ground plane was good agreed with the simulated results. When radius R is small, optimal size of ground plane is proposed, and when radius R is more large, minimum size of ground plane is proposed.

In this paper, a novel Ultra-Wideband(UWB) antenna fed by CPW is designed, fabricated, and measured for UWB communications. We have used the Microwave Studio of CST to simulate the proposed antenna. It is designed to work on a substrate TMM4 of thickness 0.762 mm and relative permittivity 4.5. The proposed antenna is satisfied with Ultra-Wideband communication band from 3.1 GHz to 11.5 GHz, for VSWR$\leq$2, and isolated IEEE 802.1la frequency band(5.15 GHz$\~$5.825 GHz) using a rectangular slot. Measured group delay variation is less than 1 ns, thus indicating the proposed antenna a good candidate for UWB applications.

This paper, designed UWB elliptical slot antenna and analysis based on the distribution of the electromagnetic fields pattern and resonant mode of designed antenna is presented. Designed antenna is fabricated on FR4 substrate with thickness of 1.524mm and relative dielectric constant 4.4. The measured bandwidth of $3.6GHz{\sim}20GHz$ for VSWR<2. Through the field pattern and resonant mode analysis that the slot antenna operates on a series of the multi-pole radiation based on TE modes matched to system impedance. And the perfect magnetic wall is along the axis of symmetry on the y-z plane. This result gives us an easier method to design the similar antennas, which is the impedance matching to the system impedance after once constructing a proper structure with a series of multi-mode resonances.

In this paper, a design method for a compact stepped open slot antenna for an operation in the UWB band is studied. The proposed antenna is miniaturized by inserting L-shaped slots on the ground plane of the stepped open slot antenna through the creation of a resonance in the low frequency, and a strip director is appended to the antenna in order to increase the gain in the middle and high frequency regions. The effects of varying the length of the L-shaped slots, the distance between the director and the slot antenna, and the director length on input reflection coefficient and realized gain characteristics of the proposed antenna are analyzed. The optimized antenna with the size of $30mm{\times}30mm$ is fabricated on an FR4 substrate, and the experiment results show that the antenna has a frequency band of 3.02-11.04 GHz for a VSWR < 2, which assures the operation in the UWB band.

In this paper, we present the analysis of a novel monopole antenna with a reflector. The proposed monopole antenna is printed on a TRF-45 substrate, and the reflector, which is positioned near the base of the antenna, is printed on the FR-4 substrate. Positioning the reflector near the base of the antenna was found to suppress current radiation toward the back of the monopole antenna. Comparative analysis of the proposed monopole antenna and a conventional monopole antenna without a reflector revealed that the bandwidths of the antenna with and without a reflector were 2.65 GHz and 2.88 GHz, respectively. Additionally, the antenna without a reflector was observed to have a bi-directional radiation pattern in the E-plane, and an omni-directional radiation pattern in the H-plane. However, only the antenna with a reflector was found to suppress back radiation, and provide non-uniform directional radiation in the E-plane and H-plane.

This paper presents a tapered slot-antenna(TSA) for optimal impulse-signal transmission in ultra-wide band(UWB). The proposed TSA provides radiates in end-fire direction, which meets an impulse-radio UWB(IR-UWB) system demands(e.g., low loss, thus less error throughout the UWB band). In order to minimize the pulse distortion, we used an wideband impedance transformer and a microstrip slotline. The pulse fidelity characteristics was evaluated with finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) analysis technique and pulse fidelity correlation equation. Approximately 93.89 % pulse fidelity was obtained between the two antennas in 0.5 m range. Additionally, derived chirp Z-transform algorithm enables us to utilize the zoom-in option on the pulse signal in few nano-seconds below. Thus, it is possible to analyze the pulse signal distortion, delay or dispersion characteristics.

A novel compact pattern diversity slot antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) and Bluetooth applications is presented. This antenna consists of two modified coplanar waveguides that feed staircase-shaped radiating elements, wherein two different fork-like stubs are placed at the $45{\circ}$ axis. The measured results show that this proposed antenna operates from 2.3 GHz to 12.5 GHz, covering Bluetooth, WLAN, WiMAX, and UWB. The performance of radiation patterns and the corresponding envelope correlation coefficient prove this antenna is suitable for MIMO/diversity systems. Also, the antenna's compact size makes it a good candidate for portable devices.
