A UWB Slot-Loaded Printed Inverted C-Shaped Antenna with Truncated Ground

In this report, a circular slot-loaded printed microstrip-fed inverted C-shaped monopole antenna is introduced for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. A low profile and simple structure has been used in introduced antenna, so which can be effortlessly compatible with printed circuit board (PCB)-based frameworks. The dimension of demonstrated antenna is
$34.4\times 24\times 1.6\ \text{mm}^{3}$
on FR4-substrate with 11.10 mm patch radius. The projected radiator is simulated on HFSS (High-Frequency-Structure-Simulator) and evaluated. The progress of recommended radiator is deliberated in different phases with their performance. So as to broaden the expected antenna bandwidth (BW), the ground conductor has been amended with certain slots. The offered antenna delivers 130.25% impedance BW and 96.4% efficiency ranging from 3.4-16.10 GHz. Likewise; the antenna demonstrates stable radiation features inside the operational band. The offered antenna can be promoted for several applications including WLAN, C and X-band, partly Ku-Band in addition to UWB.
