Summary:
Since the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has allocated the frequency band from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz for Ultra-wideband (UWB) application, UWB systems have been widely investigated because of low power and high data rate for wireless communication applications [1], [2]. An antenna can cover the whole UWB band for UWB applications. Recently, the new methods have been reported such as a half monopole scheme [3], [4] and a metamaterial (MTM) loading technique [5] for size reduction. Printed monopole antennas have been drawn to much attention due to wideband matching characteristic, omnidirectional radiation, high radiation efficiency, and compact size [3]. A coupled ground plane is loaded on the bottom of a substrate [6]. In this paper, a miniaturized UWB antenna using a half printed monopole with a ground side coupled patch is proposed. By halving the monopole antenna with loading a coupled extended ground [6] and tuning a microstrip feed line, the proposed antenna is miniaturized and covers the UWB bandwidth.
