Bending effect on ultra wideband (UWB) microstrip patch antenna performance

This paper presents the bending effect of Ultra Wideband (UWB) antenna performance. Comparisons are made between antenna without bending and antenna with bending. The bending antenna exhibits poorer performance than the antenna without bending, but still complying with UWB characteristics. The anten...

Description
Summary:This paper presents the bending effect of Ultra Wideband (UWB) antenna performance. Comparisons are made between antenna without bending and antenna with bending. The bending antenna exhibits poorer performance than the antenna without bending, but still complying with UWB characteristics. The antenna performance is analyzed in terms of return loss (S11), radiation pattern, voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), phase angle and input impedance. The antennas are designed and simulated in CST Microwave Studio. Simulated and measured results of the antenna design are discussed in detail in this paper. © 2014 IAMOT.
