Abstract

The most recent wireless technology is ultra-wideband (UWB), which makes use of a broad frequency range for efficient communication, fast data transmission, and precise position recognition. In this paper, a small antenna architecture based on CST software is developed with a width of 9 mm, length of 14 mm, and a height of 1 mm. The antenna is proposed in the frequency range 3-11 GHz, which is the ultra-wideband frequency spectrum. The simulation result of the above software includes a first frequency band of 0.542 GHz and a second frequency band of 3.4309 GHz, which covers several frequency bands. The new design is unique in being a Rubik's Cube antenna. The antenna we want has a reflection coefficient of less than -10 dB at all frequencies. The gain value lies between 0.5 dB and 3.8 dB, and the radiation efficiency and antenna efficiency vary from 60% to 88%. These outstanding characteristics position the proposed antenna in an essential position in contemporary wireless networks that utilize ultra-wideband technology
