Abstract

A novel printed leaf structured antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications is designed in HFSS software, obtained results are presented. The radiating surface is cut like leaf shape over FR4 dielectric substrate backed finite ground plane and power is supplied with a 50 Ω microstrip line. The designed antenna operates over impedance bandwidth (2.9–11.6 GHz) for return loss S11 < 10 dB. The antenna also shows omni-directional radiation patterns and good gain flatness over the frequency range of interest. The results showing that the proposed antenna performance is suitable for UWB applications. Keywords: printed leaf structured antenna, omni-directional radiation, ultra-wideband
