Abstract :
This paper describes an electric dipole and a magnetic dipole (slot antenna) which are connected in parallel to achieve an ultra wide impedance bandwidth antenna. This makes it suitable for application to ultra wideband communications systems and to communication systems that cover a number of distinct and wide spread frequency bands. The upper frequency limit of the antenna has not been investigated but it is expected to depend mostly on the fine structure of the feedpoint of the antenna.
