Abstract :
Two Ku-band antenna elements to be used in full-polarimetric UWB arrays are introduced. Both antenna elements consist of four linearly polarized UWB radiators. It is demonstrated that both elements have over 100% fractional bandwidth, good impedance matching, linear phase (almost constant group delay) and uni-directional patterns.
