Abstract :
Description and performance of a novel physically small UWB omnidirectional antenna are presented. Greater than an octave frequency bandwidth and very short antenna ringing time have been demonstrated. The antenna is relatively immune to close-in environmental perturbations. Behaviour of a unidirectional variant of the antenna is also presented
