Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a 2-element UWB array antenna using leaf-shaped bowtie elements and a reflector, which has unidirectional radiation characteristics and higher-directivity. Furthermore, the waveform distortions caused by this antenna are evaluated by calculating cross-correlation coefficient between source and received pulses.
