T
E (i) A suitable antenna should offer a desired impedance bandwidth
N
N (ii) The performance of a wideband antenna is required to be
A consistent over the entire operational frequency band. The
radiation patterns, gain and impedance bandwidth of the antenna
T should be stable over the entire band.
H (iii) An antenna should have these features: low profile, easy to
E fabricate, compact and easy to integrate with other Printed Circuit
O Board (PCB) based systems.
R
Y (iv) A good design of antenna should be optimal for the performance of
& overall system. Thus, the overall device complies with the
D mandatory power emission mask given by the FCC or other
E regulatory bodies.
S (v) An antenna is required to realize good time domain characteristics.
I It means that there is minimum pulse distortion in the received
G waveform. It is a primary concern of a suitable wideband antenna
N because the signal is the carrier of useful information
