The sensing task was performed by the means of an ultra-wideband quasi-omnidirectional antenna. Whilst, the communication task was ensured by a narrowband antenna. Both antennas were designed on the same layer of a FR4 substrate. Therefore, the isolation between them must take into consideration. The mutual coupling was less than -15dB over the whole frequency bandwidth. The proposed sensing antenna covers a wide range frequency bands from ranging 2 to 5GHz. Whilst, the communication antenna operates at 2.8GHz. The whole antenna system was designed, fabricated, and measured. Measurement and simulation results are in good agreement, which prove the proposed structure.}, publisher = {World Scientific and Engineering Academy and Society (WSEAS)}, publisher = {WSEAS Transactions on Communications, 2018, 17, 29-34}, title = {Antenna system combining sensing and communication tasks for cognitive radio front-ends}, author = {Nachouane, Hamza and Najid, Abdellah and Tribak, Abdelwahed and Riouch, Fatima and Mediavilla Sánchez, Ángel}, }
