Abstract
A novel, ultrawideband (UWB) monopole antenna suitable to be mounted on the printed circuit board (PCB) of a wireless, universal, serial-bus (USB) dongle as an internal antenna is presented. The proposed antenna in the study is a U-shaped, metal-plate monopole antenna, easily fabricated from bending a simple metal plate onto a foam base of a compact size of 6times11times20 mm3. The antenna mainly comprises a pair of wide-ended radiating arms and a bevel-feed transition. When the antenna is mounted at the top portion of the PCB, one end of the radiating arm is also short-circuited to the system ground plane. With the proposed antenna structure, which can provide a very wide operating bandwidth of larger than 7.6 GHz, the antenna impedance bandwidth can easily cover the 3.1-10.6 GHz UWB band. Details of the antenna design are described, and experimental results of the constructed prototypes are presented and discussedKeywords
