Abstract :
The UWB monopole antenna with elliptical radiating slot end and microstrip feeding line terminated with radial stub have been designed, fabricated and measured. The antenna shows return loss less than -12 dB in the whole UWB bandwidth. Linearity of the reflection coefficient phase product have also been achieved. Radiation patterns of the antenna measured at three selected frequency points indicated regular, approximately omni directional radiation. Performance of the fabricated antenna have been compared with the simulation results showing good level of agreement.
