Abstract

This article presents the design of an antenna that operate in the low frequency range of ultra-wideband, that yields more than 500 MHz bandwidth in accordance with the FCC regulations. The radiator of the antenna is of a surface monopole on reflector achieving 1.3 GHz bandwidth that cover frequency range from 200 MHz to 1.3 GHz by considering the characteristics |S11| (dB) less than or equal to -10 dB. The radiation pattern is unidirectional beam. The maximum gain is 3.62 dBi. The signal is input with N-type connector. The antenna is made of copper material to handle high power. The antenna is suitable for using with pulse generator of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system.
