Abstract: Delta shaped planar monopole antenna employing a triangular slot in the ground plane is proposed. The impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is from 2.8603 to 30 GHz for reflection coefficient less than -10 dB. Since the antenna manifests a bandwidth ratio of 10:1, it can be assess as a super wide band antenna and it also cover the frequency range of ultra wide band antenna. Better impedance matching and enhanced bandwidth is achieved by the use of triangular slot on the ground plane. Simulation is done by ANSOFT High Frequency Structure Simulator (ANSOFT HFSS 13.0) which is based on Finite Element Method.
Keywords: Impedance Bandwidth, Monopole Antenna, Reflection Coefficient, Ultra Wideband/super wide band.
