Synthesis of notched band UWB antennas with a hybrid PSO-spline technique

In this paper, an approach for the synthesis of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) antennas with a notched frequency band is presented. It exploits the effectiveness of a representation based on spline curves to obtain the wideband behavior and the simplicity of …

Optimization of a Spline-Shaped UWB Antenna by PSO

This letter presents the design of a planar antenna for ultrawideband (UWB) applications with a bandwidth of 5.5 GHz over 3.7 to 9.2 GHz and return loss values lower than -10 dB. The antenna geometry is described in terms of a spline-based …
