Abstract
The A low cost, high gain microstrip line feed UWB monopole antenna embedded with partially reflective surface is proposed in this paper. The antenna structure consists of UWB antenna, which acts as a main radiating element and that is fed with a array of total 30 square copper cells, which are considered on low permittivity substrate and suspended in air with the help of dielectric rods at height of 0.5 λ0. The antenna with partially reflective surface gives enhancement of 1–2.7 dB gain in UWB range. The proposed structure is an attractive solution of poor gain problem in ultra wideband communication systems.
