摘要：
A novel super Ultra-Wideband (UWB) monopole antenna for Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) application is investigated in this paper. The designed antenna is constructed by a grooved elliptical patch and a corrugated semi-elliptical ground plane. The designed antenna is fabricated on the FR4-substrate that has a compact size of 0.195 λ0 × 0.1625 λ0 × 0.00975 λ0 at 1.95 GHz. The measurements are performed by using a well calibrated R&S®ZNB Vector Network Analyzer. The measured results show that the fabricated prototype covers a super UWB extending from 1.95 GHz to upper than 20 GHz (>164.46 %). Additionally, the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) and the gain responses of the antenna are simulated in close proximity to a dry/wet sand box to verify the penetration ability of the antenna. The results are acceptable which guarantee the aptitude of this antenna to operate as a GPR antenna. © 2022 Budapest University of Technology and Economics. All rights reserved.
