The fractional bandwidth of an antenna is a proportion of how wideband the antenna is.

Assuming the antenna works at centre frequency fc between lower cutoff frequency fL and upper cutoff frequency fh (where fc=(fL+fH)/2), then, at that point, the fractional bandwidth FBW is given by:

antenna parameter, bandwidth, fractional bandwidth, antenna bandwidth, FBW, scientific parameter, antenna theory,
formula to calculate the fractional bandwidth of an antenna


fractional bandwidth is an element of the range and the centre frequency.


The fractional bandwidth differs somewhere in the range of 0 and 2, and is frequently cited as a rate (somewhere in the range of 0% and 200%).

The higher the rate, the more extensive the bandwidth.

Wideband antennas normally have a Fractional Bandwidth of 20% or more.

Antennas with a FBW of more noteworthy than half are alluded to as super wideband antennas.
