A Study of Ultrawideband (UWB) Antenna Design for Cognitive Radio Applications


الملخص بالإنكليزية

Cognitive radio is rapidly shaping the future of wireless communications. Research on antenna design is very critical for the implementation of cognitive radio. A special antenna is required in cognitive radio for sensing and communicating. For the purpose of spectrum sensing, an Ultrawideband (UWB) antenna is being considered as a potential candidate by many experts. This paper provides a detailed discussion of the existing UWB spectrum sensing antenna designs for cognitive radio system. Simulation results for a promising cognitive radio antenna which provides a reconfigurable function in the range of 5-6 GHz have also been presented and shown to match closely with the measured results.
