  • Abstract
    This paper presents the results of a simple ultrawideband (UWB) monopole antenna having an impedance bandwidth from 3.1-40 GHz. The antenna has a half-elliptical shaped radiator with microstrip-fed and a total size of 24×30×0.762 mm3. The extremely wideband characteristic of the antenna is achieved by simply using a tapered transformer and a small square slot on the ground plane.
