An Elliptical CPW Fed UWB Slot Antenna

A new CPW fed elliptical antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) is proposed. The novelty of this antenna are very small size and uniplanar structure, which results in easy and low cost fabrication. This antenna has elliptical slot configuration which is fed by the CPW. This elliptical slot UWB antenna is enclosed in the extended surface of ground for decreasing the chip surface area. This antenna is designed with the optimal design parameters for the UWB spectrum. The designed antenna is printed on FR4 substrate and Vector Network Analyser is used for measuring return loss. The results of measurement results are similar to simulation results. The complete chip volume of antenna is 18.3 × 23 × 1.6 mm3.
