Title of the Seminar: A book chapter titled “UWB Antennas for Medical Imaging Applications”. IET London, UK, 2022.

Presenter: Assist. Prof. Dr. Yasser A. Fadhel

Summary: The introduction of the ultra-wideband (UWB) technology opened new horizons into wireless communications as it offered high data rates that were achieved by the transmission over a wide spectrum at a very low-power spectral density. One of the most important parts of the UWB systems is the antenna which is at the forefront of the system. Thus, the UWB antenna is required to have an acceptable gain and radiation pattern across the whole UWB frequency range. This, in turn, means that the input impedance of the UWB antenna must be almost constant within the UWB frequency range to minimize reflections from the antenna that reduces the delivered power. Although the UWB antenna can be realized in either planar or nonplanar structures, the planar design is preferable due to its small size, mechanical rigidity, and easier integration. Therefore, in this chapter the designed UWB antennas were proposed to serve many applications, including UWB imaging.
