Abstract
This work presents the design and characterization of a broadband bowtie antenna operating within the 2–10 GHz frequency range. The bowtie architecture is selected due to its inherent wideband properties, achieving stable radiation patterns and impedance matching across the entire frequency band. The proposed antenna is optimized through electromagnetic simulations, focusing on minimizing return loss and enhancing gain uniformity. The design parameters, including flare angle, substrate selection, and feeding mechanism, are analyzed to ensure broadband performance. Simulated and measured results demonstrate the antenna’s capability for high-efficiency operation, making it suitable for radar, communication, and sensing applications.
