Summary:
This paper proposes wideband biconical antennas for UWB (ultra wideband) communication. A small biconical antenna with ground is designed. This antenna exhibits an omni-directional pattern over a wideband. But this structure is difficult to fabricate. Hence we propose a planar biconical antenna which is fed by a coplanar waveguide (CPW). The 10 dB return loss bandwidth is 7.4 GHz (3.4-10.8 GHz). The simulation results obtained using CST’s Microwave Studio are seen to be in good agreement with the measured results.
