Abstract

Abstract

An ellipse-like UWB dipole is investigated in this paper. By designing a novel antenna structure, which can effectively reduce the current reflection at the end of dipole, the input impedance is improved, and the bandwidth is widened. The dipole is more effective than the resistance loaded bow-tie antenna. In this article, the dipole is analyzed and designed by an EM simulation tool and a sample antenna is produced based on the design results. The VSWR and radiation pattern of the proposed antenna are measured and the results prove the validity of the simulation. The results indicate that the novel antenna has a wide bandwidth and a good radiation performance.
