Abstract

In this communication, two distinct compact planar monopoles are designed and
constructed. Two composition (circular and rectangular shaped radiating elements) are
presented. The slots and step-shaped are integrated in the radiating elements to improve the
impedance matching characteristics of the antennas. Two feeding techniques (microstrip
and coplanar waveguide feeds) are performed to couple the electromagnetic waves. Both
the two antennas shows promising performance for UWB applications. Numerical and
exploratory strategies are performed to exhibit and discuss about the proposed designs. The
results of CPW-fed receiving wire uncover preferable execution over the transmission line
fed reception apparatus.
