摘要：

A large bandwidth wide-slot antenna, fed by coplanar waveguide (CPW), is proposed. Experimental investigations and detailed simulations are conducted to understand its behavior and to optimize for broadband operation. The impedance bandwidth, determined by 10-dB return loss of the proposed slot antenna using both measurement and simulation, is about 131% (2.8 to 14 GHz). In addition to be small in size, the antenna has low cross polarization, relatively high gain, and it exhibits stable far-field radiation characteristics in the entire operating bandwidth. The design with very wide operating bandwidth and improved radiation pattern is obtained by properly choosing the suitable slot shape, selecting similar feed patch shape, and tuning their dimensions. Numerical sensitivity analysis has been used to understand the effects of changes of various antenna dimensions and to optimize the performance of the designed antenna. Based on our computer simulations it is shown that the antenna dimensions parameters have uncorrelated effects on the upper edge of the bandwidth. Simulation results show that the impedance matching of this kind of antenna is sensitive to the feed-slot combination and feed gap width. The simulated and measured results for return loss, far-field E-plane and H-plane radiation patterns, and gain of the designed antenna are presented and discussed.
