Abstract

This paper presents design, fabrication, and testing of a palm tree structured monopole antenna for wideband applications. The proposed antenna has a wide impedance bandwidth (−10 dB bandwidth) from 4 to 10.4 GHz. Palm tree antenna of compact size 23 mm × 20 mm is designed and fabricated on an FR4 substrate of thickness 1.6 mm. To validate the design, a mathematical relationship between the parameters of the palm tree geometry and the lower cut-off frequency has been established. Parametric study has been carried out to obtain optimum wideband characteristics. The prototype is experimentally validated for the band 4–10.4 GHz within ultra-wideband operations. Transfer function, impulse response and Group delay has been plotted in order to address the time domain characteristics of the palm tree antenna with fidelity factor values. The possible applications cover 5.2–5.8 GHz WLAN, C-band operations, 5.5 GHz WiMAX, and Wireless USB.
