摘要
A compact antenna is proposed for operating at the Federal Communications Commission allocated ultra-wideband (UWB) of 3.1-10.6 GHz. The antenna is made by deforming a film antenna which consists of two glass-shaped and square-shaped radiation elements. The antenna in its planar form is optimized for the UWB operation and is deformed by different manners such as folding, meandering or twisting, without much influence on its input characteristics. The deformations not only miniaturize the antenna but also improve its radiation characteristics. A prototype with a dimension of 20 x 33 mm(2) is fabricated and then the antenna is deformed by rolling it into a circular rod with a diameter of 6.4 mm, or meandering it into a square rod with a cross-sectional dimension of 6 x 5 mm(2). The deformed antennas maintain the operation at the UWB and have better omni-directional radiation patterns than the antenna in its planar form.
