A Coplanar Waveguide Fed Hexagon Slotted Hexagonal Patch Antenna for Ultra Wideband Applications

摘要

A Coplanar Waveguide Fed ultra wide band (UWB) slotted Hexagonal patch antenna which finds application in wireless communication is presented here. It was designed to operate in the UWB range (3.1GHz to 10.60GHz). The antenna presented here is designed on FR4 substrate with loss tangent δ=0.0025 and dielectric constant 4.4. The dimension of the proposed antenna is 34 × 29 × 1.6 mm. The fundamental parameters of the antenna such as return loss, VSWR and 2D radiation patterns were measured and found to meet standards specified for such antennas. The antenna was designed and simulated using Ansoft HFSS13.
