Abstract

A CPW-fed 8-shaped monopole antenna for ultra wideband applications is presented. It consists of a 8-shaped monopole and two quarter elliptical coplanar waveguide ground planes. An impedance bandwidth from 5.4 GHz to 23.83 GHz is achieved. The radiation patterns are observed to be omnidirectional and bidirectional in E-and H-plane respectively at lower resonances. At higher frequencies, the radiation patterns are found to be nearly omnidirectional in both planes. The group delay variation is also observed to be constant in the operating frequency range. A good agreement is found between the simulation and experimental results. The designed antenna structure has miniaturized dimensions and wider bandwidth as compared to other already reported monopole structures.
