Abstract: A coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed circular microstrip patch antenna for ultrawideband applications is proposed in this work. FR-4 substrate of dielectric constant 4.4 and thickness of 1.6 mm is used,and the overall dimension of antenna is 40 X 40 mm2 . The proposed antenna operated over the large bandwidth which tends to coverultrawideband of 1.2-7.2 GHz with two resonant frequencies at 1.6GHz and 5.2GHz.The proposed antenna is designed using High Frequency Structural Simulator (HFSS). The antenna resonates at multiple bands over a bandwidth which is covers GSM and WLAN applications.
