Summary:
This paper presents a compact ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna integrated in a low-temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) package. The overall dimension of the LTCC package is 20 × 20 × 1.3 mm3, and has 3.32 × 2.76 × 0.9 mm3 internal space under the antenna ground plane for integration of a single-chip UWB transceiver die. The feeding network of the UWB antenna consists of feed via, signal trace of CPW, and bond wires which lead the signal from the output port of the bare chip to the UWB antenna. Moreover, the property of the designed antenna is calculated with 30 × 30 × 0.5 mm3 printed circuit board for practical applications and measurement. The bandwidth of the designed antenna is 4.96 GHz (3.04 GHz ~ 8 GHz). The radiation patterns at each resonant frequency are shown to be acceptable over a wide frequency range.
