Abstract :
A reconfigurable ultra-wideband (UWB) biconical antenna is presented. It exhibits a bandwidth of 433 MHz-22 GHz due to a specially shaped dielectric placed between the two cones. Different flanges can be connected to the antenna to increase the frequency range. The radiation pattern has a constant main direction and changes its shape only slightly over the entire frequency range. Furthermore the antenna offers an excellent transient behavior which is an important property with regard to impulse radio (IR) applications.
