Ultra wideband antenna for microwave imaging using modified fractal structure

Since the Federal Communication Commission release of bandwidth of 7.5 GHz (from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz) for ultra wideband application (UWB), UWB is rapidly advancing as a high data rate wireless technology. Moreover, there are more challenges in designing a UWB antenna than a narrow band antenna. A s...
