Abstract :
In this paper, design, analysis and measured results of a novel planar ultra-wideband (UWB) conical skirt tapered monopole antenna are presented. The impedance bandwidth of the antenna (VSWR<2) ranges from 3 to 11 GHz. The antenna has an omni directional pattern in the azimuth plane. The proposed antenna is intended for use in UWB devices.
