Abstract

Ultra Wide Band (UWB) wireless communication provides a very different approach to wireless technologies compared to conventional narrow band systems. UWB has many potential applications to be researched. One of the promising application areas is in medicine. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulate that the frequency for the UWB technique is from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz [1], [10]. The goal of this work is to design and analysis the Microstrip Patch Antenna, which covers the Ultra Wide Band 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz. The authors have used aperture coupling feeding method in the antenna design and surveyed the reflection co-efficient amount of the antenna. This is a simulation based study. The design and simulation of the antenna is carried out using CST microwave Studio simulation software.
