The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

© 2014 IEEE. This paper presents a novel antenna design for ultra wide-band body area network applications. The design is composed of two Vivaldi shapes placed opposite to each other on the same substrate, which achieves constant impedance matching over a wide band and uniform radiation pattern. To reduce the backward radiation, two types of reflector were used: flat and curved. Results show that using a curved reflector enhances the radiation pattern on most of the UWB with less effect on the antenna impedance compared to the flat reflector.
