As the technology is progressing, size of the objects is shrinking and need for compact size efficient devices increases. In the field of antenna designing there is a need of developing compact and light weight antennas. Due to the development of new algorithms and techniques in certain areas e.g. frequency hopping in communication, operating frequencies of the setup also keeps on changing, antenna needs to radiate efficiently in all desired frequencies. In this regard development of wide band antennas always remained the focus of research. This work addresses issue of bandwidth and describes the design, simulation and fabrication of 6.1 to 10.1GHZ, 08 element wideband log periodic antenna. It is a micro strip based antenna which is designed and simulated in Momentum � an EM tool of Agilent�s Advance Design System (ADS). The antenna is then fabricated and its characteristics such as bandwidth, return loss and VSWR are measured and compared with the simulated results.
