BROADBAND PLANAR ANTENNA

摘要

A broadband antenna includes a uniplanar structure having a plurality of separate and contiguous metallic elements. A first element comprises a substantially circular metallic element having a flattened portion. A second element comprises a substantially linear metallic strip connected to an edge of the first element. The antenna further includes a pair of substantially rectangular side elements disposed on opposite sides of the second element that are electrically isolated from the first and second elements. The antenna can achieve a return loss better than 10 dB over a broadband range.
