Abstract
In theory, Log-Periodic Antenna (LPA) is a linearly polarized antenna with frequency independent properties on the input impedance and gain patterns. Owing to these characteristics, LPA has gained research interests and been employed for many wideband applications. A Printed Log-Periodic Dipole Antenna (PLPDA) with multiple notched bands is proposed for Ultra-WideBand (UWB) applications. An antenna with the notched frequencies of 1.03 GHz, 1.28 GHz, 1.72 GHz, 2.24 GHz and 2.51 GHz is designed, fabricated, and measured. An antenna model was established on the substrate of FR4 and feed by a stripline. The simulation results show that the antenna can achieve an impendence wide bandwidth from 0.89 to 2.58 GHz with return loss less than −10 dB and exhibit stable antenna gain. Furthermore, the measurement result is better consistent with simulation result.
