Abstract
The design of a novel ultrawideband printed-circuit antenna is presented. By using a stepped-patch in combination with multiple resonating elements, a bandwidth of more than 150% is obtained. The performance is demonstrated through measurements and calculations with a commercially available field solver. A phase center analysis shows very small variations over the entire available bandwidth
