Abstract :
An ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna is designed for communications applications. Parameters that affect the antenna performance are investigated using both simulations and measurements. The same antenna is redesigned for use in a UWB cancer detection system, and its performance characteristics are investigated in a lossy biological coupling medium
