Abstract

This paper proposes a new ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna. The proposed antenna is designed for operation from 3 to 15 GHz. It consists of a Sierpinski fractal based ellipse etched onto the radiating patch and a rectangular defected ground structure in the ground plane. Details of the proposed antenna as well as with variations in design variables are presented and the results discussed.
