Abstract

A compact Ultra-WideBand (UWB) microstrip antenna is proposed for wireless application in the Ultra-WideBand (UWB) frequency. This paper proposed a low-profile antenna which consists of a patch, a combination of two inverted C-shape structures. This consists of a rectangular ground with one rectangular and one trapezoidal slot cut. Defected ground technique in this antenna provides a good impedance matching. The bandwidth of this antenna is broad which includes an entire UWB frequency range from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz. This antenna has three resonant bands 3.37 GHz, which is applicable for WiMAX (3.3 – 3.7 GHz), 5.3 GHz which is applicable for WLAN (5.15 – 5.825 GHz) and 10.06 GHz which is  applicable for Amateur Radio (10 - 10.5 GHz). The surface size of antenna is 25 x 25 mm2 with 1.6 mm height of substrate which provides broad bandwidth, constant group delay, good impedance matching and constant gain.
