Abstract :
This paper presents a novel ultra wide band (UWB) leaky slot antenna. The antenna has a wide impedance bandwidth from 3 to 14 GHz and it is suitable for radar applications requiring high resolution, phase center stability and good pulse preservation, such as medical imaging and ground penetrating radar.
