The invention belongs to the field of ultra-
wideband antennas, and provides a miniaturized ultra-
wideband antenna with trapped
waves, which basically structurally comprises a
dielectric substrate, a
radiation unit and a
microstrip feeder which are attached to one side of the
dielectric substrate, and a grounding plate attached to the other side of the
dielectric substrate. The
radiation unit is formed by combining a circle and a polygon, and a U-shaped notch groove is formed in the
radiation unit and used for suppressing electromagnetic
waves of unneeded frequency bands. The grounding plate is provided with a second-order Minkowski fractal groove which is used for impedance optimization of the antenna. The ultra-
wideband antenna provided by the invention is a
monopole antenna, a Teflon ZYF300CA-C high-frequency plate is selected, the size of the antenna is 22mm * 28mm * 0.76 mm, the dielectric constant Dk of a substrate is 2.94, and the loss tangent Df is 0.0016; and the impedance of the
microstrip feeder is 50 ohms. According to the invention, trapped
waves can be generated near a 5.5 GHz frequency point, and S11lt can be satisfied in a frequency range of 3.47 to 4.92 GHz and a frequency range of 5.83 to 13.54 GHz; and-10 dB. The antenna has the characteristics of
miniaturization, ultra
wide band, omnidirectivity and low profile, and can be applied to an ultra
wide band (UWB) communication technology.
