The Design of a Finite Ground Plane Cross Semi-elliptic Monopole Antenna for UWB Applications

A cross semi-elliptic monopole antenna with a finite ground plane is presented. Both impedance and radiation characteristics of this antenna are studied. Experimental results indicate that an impedance bandwidth of 10.15 GHz is achieved at operating fr...
Since the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released UWB technology, 1 many researchers have made efforts to develop UWB radio systems. 2,3 As the antenna is a key component of a UWB radio system, many antenna designs for UWB applications have been published. 4 A monopole antenna has the advantage...
