Abstract
This document gives Dipole antennas that are resonant and simple. The radiation pattern of dipoles and biconical antennas is Omnidirectional and used in broadcasting and mobile communication applications. Resonant antennas are narrow bands and mostly operate at a single frequency. Wideband antennas are in demand for modern wireless communication applications. The bandwidth of the dipole antenna is increased by increasing the top radius of the wire and results in a conical antenna. Array antennas of standard configurations are used for high gain and directivity applications. It is difficult to design a wideband array. But enhancing the band width of the antenna array makes them suitable for multiband and wideband operations. In this paper, the design and numerical analysis of the collinear array for wideband operation are presented. Collinear arrays provide high gain and directivity. Biconical antenna provides wideband width. A collinear antenna array with biconical elements is considered for the design and analysis. Also, the behavior of the individual elements of the array is also presented. The proposed array is designed at 6 GHz and is analyzed and compared with a common dipole array to evaluate its performance for 1-10 GHz. The proposed array is compact in size and is suitable for Ultra-Wide Band applications.
