Ultra-wideband antenna with improved gain characteristics

A ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with improved gain characteristics is proposed. With the improvements, it is discussed in terms of the band notch and enhanced radiation patterns. Shaping the return loss as an approach in order to achieve these characteristics is introduced and a multi-resonant dipole structure is designed and experimented in frequency and time domains. The proposed UWB antenna provides the band notch with a sharp slope and improved gain deviation on azimuth plane for the UWB communication.
