Abstract
A microstrip patch antenna loaded with a double trident shaped slot fed with microstrip line is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna operates for the ultra-wideband over 3.966GHz to 10.033 GHz for S11 < 10 dB. The antenna provides the impedance bandwidth of 6.067 GHz with return loss of -21.9022 dB at 4.6644 GHz and -25.6118 dB at 8.9597 GHz. Good return loss, VSWR and radiation pattern characteristics are obtained in the desired frequency band. The antenna also operates with acceptable values of VSWR (<2) in C band and X band respectively.
Keywords: Microstrip patch antenna, UWB, truncated ground plane.
