Parametric analysis and design of compact omnidirectional and directional ultra-wideband antenna

Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a promising Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) technology for transmitting data at very high rates using very low power within very wide bandwidth. UWB technology has the radio spectrum between 3.0 GHz to 10.6 GHz that covers the bandwidth from 20 to 200 percent greater th...
