摘要
A new co-planar waveguide fed UWB antenna with transitions in feed line is proposed in this article. A good agreement is found in between simulated and measured results of the proposed design. The antenna provides a bandwidth improvement of more than 120% with min. group delay variation, high efficiency of 88%, and gain variation of 2-5dBi. The antenna pattern is omnidirectional in H-plane and monopole like in E-plane. The proposed antenna is also tested in close proximity of soil to establish its ability for GPR applications.
