Introduction

• Compact size while providing acceptable
• 1- VSWR
• 2- Bandwidth
• 3- Gain
• 4- Efficiency
• Omni-directional pattern
• To be suitable for on chip design, with easy
  impedance matching
• Light weight
• Low cost
• Therefore, the UWB antenna design remains to be
  the major face in the progress of UWB technology

Conclusions

• Small antenna on FR4 substrate, which is
  suitable for lower . frequency
  band of UWB system, 3.1-5.1( GHz)

• Easy to design and cheap

• Fulfilled the required bandwidth for lower band

• Average gain of 1(dBi) was shown to be
  achievable over the
• the frequency range

• Ultimate radiation pattern for wireless device
