Abstract

This paper investigates the design and practical implementation of a novel Super Wide Band (SWB) antenna on a flexible substrate. The antenna is designed on the Ultralam 3850 substrate having a compact dimension of 60×40×0.1 mm3. This antenna has an operating frequency band from 1.74 to 100 GHz with a bandwidth (BW) ratio of approximately 57.47:1. Such an extended frequency coverage makes this antenna operable in a wide variety of wireless application areas, including 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT). The simulated performance of the designed antenna is analyzed here with respect to different antenna parameters, including reflection coefficient, radiation pattern, gain, efficiency, and surface current. The proposed antenna prototype is fabricated, and experimental validation is provided through the measurement using a programmable network analyzer (PNA).
