Abstract :
In this paper, a set of different shape radiators fed with parallel-strip transmission lines (UWB-PS antennas) are proposed and studied, taking into account not only the return losses metric, but also the copolar fidelity factor defined on a single antenna. This metric will allow to choose the best geometry based on the minimum angular distortion introduced by the antenna considered as a linear system.
