Performance Analysis of Energy Pattern and Power Patterns for UWB Antenna and Narrowband Antenna Dau-Chyrh CHANG Chao-Hsiang LIAO Powen HSU Publication IEICE TRANSACTIONS on Communications Vol.E95-B No.1 pp.2-9 Publication Date: 2012/01/01 Online ISSN: 1745-1345 DOI: 10.1587/transcom.E95.B.2 Print ISSN: 0916-8516 Type of Manuscript: Special Section INVITED PAPER (Special Section on Recent Progress in Antennas and Propagation in Conjunction with Main Topics of ISAP2010) Category: Keyword: energy pattern, energy gain, power pattern, ultra wideband (UWB) antenna, Full Text: FreePDF(671.5KB) Summary: Power patterns in the frequency domain are usually used to describe the antenna performance in narrowband communication systems; however, they are not sufficient for ultra wideband (UWB) antennas in wideband communication systems. In this paper, energy pattern and energy gain are introduced to describe the performance of UWB antennas. Numerical simulations and measurements are used to demonstrate the difference between power patterns and energy patterns for narrowband Yagi-Uda antenna, UWB CPW–fed bow-tie slot antenna, and UWB comb taper slot antenna. The results of simulations and measurements are agreement not only in energy pattern, but also in received voltage at various observation angles. For narrowband antennas, the energy patterns are similar to that of the power patterns in the main beam region. However, there are quite differences between power pattern in frequency domain and energy pattern in time domain for UWB antennas. | |||||
