Monopole antenna for UWB
Monopole antenna for UWB
(OP)
I am working on a planar monopole antenna which is double-fed using SMA connector, through a square groundplane. The antenna is made from a copper sheet. This antenna will be tested and measured using VNA and Anechoic Chamber for a very high frequencies (up to 11 GHz).
Can anyone suggest type of SMA connector that is suitable for this antenna to get a good measurement result since there's many type of connectors in catalogue? Thanks

RE: Monopole antenna for UWB
you can use SMA PCB connector (RS Components 363-4707).
I used it for frequencies between 2 to 10 GHZ and it
was very good!

RE: Monopole antenna for UWB
Phase dispersion is the main thing to watch out for in UWB. I don't think a well designed SMA would have issues, but I don't have direct experience with UWB and connectors.
Without knowing exactly what you are transitioning to (PCB thickness, stripline, microstrip, etc) I can't be more specific.
