Abstract EN

A printed ultra wideband (UWB) monopole antenna is proposed for applications on stepped frequency continuous wave (SFCW) ground penetrating radar (GPR) within a frequency range of 100–1000 MHz.

The proposed antenna consists of a hexagonal strip line with resistive loading and a rectangular slot that is added to the ground plane side of the printed antenna implemented on FR4 epoxy materials.

The resistive loading at the hexagonal monopole is effective to increase bandwidth in the higher frequency region, while the rectangular slot is used to improve bandwidth characteristic in the lower frequency region.

This paper investigates the characteristic improvement in the lower frequency region by applying a parametric study on the rectangular slot that is added at the ground plane side of the UWB monopole antenna.

Computer simulation was conducted and measurements were carried out to validate the result.
