This work describes the design and analysis of antenna monopole printed type. The
initial geometry in the printed monopole antenna is of a regular hexagon, with 9 mm segments
in length. The initial proposal is an antenna to serve the UWB range (3.1 to 10.6 GHz). To
achieve a bandwidth satisfying the proposed problem, fractal curves (Peano curve and the
Koch curve) were implemented in the geometry composition of the monopole and the ground
plane, respectively, the introduction of these curves generate additional resonances,
optimizing bandwidth and serving the specifications of UWB systems. To perform the
analyzes, CST Microwave Studio ® software was used, which is based on finite integration
method in the time domain, having the computing environment to simulate the antenna
properties and the electromagnetic behavior of the same as the results of these simulations, a
new frequency range going from 2.74 to 11.5 GHz is presented, satisfying the range of UWB
systems. As a last stage, a prototype was made and the measurements with the proper
equipment to compare the measured results with the simulated were realized, covering a
frequency range from 3.2 to 13.5 GHz, where the range of results shows concordance with the
simulated, validating the model.
