Abstract— A novel method to develop an Ultra-Wide Band
(UWB) antenna is proposed in which a defected ground structure
technique is employed. The proposed design is Micro-strip fed
slotted patch with an altered ground side. The Operating Band
width of antenna is 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz. The design parameters
of the antenna have been optimized using high frequency finite
element based simulation software for the best gain, bandwidth
and efficiency performance. Effectively directional radiation
patterns and large impedance bandwidth has been observed from
simulation results. The design parameters and the simulation
results are all reported in this paper including the radiation
pattern in different frequencies within the operating band. The
proposed antenna is also fabricated and the measurement results
are also presented in this paper.
