Abstract :
An ultrawideband (UWB) stripline slot antenna is presented in frequency and in time domain. Experiments are carried out to investigate its return loss, its radiation behavior, and its time-domain response. The antenna offers a 130% impedance bandwidth. Moreover its 108% radiation bandwidth covers the UWB band with a linear radiated far-field phase. It points out the fact that this antenna can be used in UWB applications
