HFSS Design of Hexagonal Monopole Antenna with FR4 Epoxy substrate – 7.34 GHz Ultra-Wide Band Antenna for Smart Shopping Application

Abstract

The requirement to serve more users and provide more data at more incredible data speeds drives demand for wireless wideband communications. The Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) technology uses nanosecond-long pulses to span an extensive frequency range. The high bandwidth, low power consumption, and less fading due to multipath are attained in UWB communication technologies. This paper explains a hexagonal monopole antenna design using a high-frequency structure simulator (HFSS) and is further optimized for c better bandwidth. A hexagonal monopole antenna is designed using FR-4 epoxy metamaterial substrate. The optimum hexagonal bandwidth is attained at a span of 6.13 to 7.34 GHz frequency, and the polar gain is 1.2 dB. This paper provides the UWB antenna design; an optimized bandwidth is achieved as expected, the applications of smart marketing and a discussion of all relevant literature are carried out.
