Abstract
In this paper, a small ground-independent planar UWB antenna is proposed. It is designed to cover the UWB band of 3.1 - 10.6 GHz. The antenna is etched onto a piece of PCB. A notch is cut from the radiator to reduce the size of the planar antenna. The simulations and measurements show that its impedance characteristics are ground-plane independent. The performance of the antennas is tested in time and frequency domains
