Small ultra wideband antenna having unidirectional radiation pattern
First Claim
1. An ultra wideband (UWB) antenna comprising:
- a substrate;
a power feeding part which is provided on a surface of the substrate and receives an external electromagnetic energy;
a dipole radiator which is excited by the electromagnetic energy fed through the power feeding part and radiates electromagnetic waves;
an active loop radiator which makes the electromagnetic waves radiated by the dipole radiator have a unidirectional radiation pattern by interfering the electromagnetic waves, andat least one passive loop radiator which is excited by the electromagnetic energy induced by the dipole radiator and the active loop radiator, and radiates the electromagnetic energy in an omnidirectional pattern,wherein the power feeding part comprises;
a signal terminal which is provided on the surface of the substrate and receives the electromagnetic energy; and
first and second ground terminals arranged on one and the other sides of the signal terminal, respectively, to form a coplanar waveguide structure on the surface of the substrate.

Abstract
A small ultra wideband (UWB) antenna designed to have a unidirectional radiation pattern is disclosed. The UWB antenna includes a substrate; a power feeding part, provided on an upper surface of the substrate, for receiving a supply of an external electromagnetic energy; a dipole radiator excited by the electromagnetic energy fed through the power feeding part and radiating electromagnetic waves in one and the other directions of the substrate; and an active loop radiator excited by the electromagnetic energy fed through the power feeding part, respectively enhancing and canceling the electromagnetic fields produced in one or the other directions of the substrate by the dipole radiator.
