Abstract :
Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a promising wireless technology that can operate at very low power to communicate at high data rates over short distances. In this emerging technology, antenna design is a challenging topic among many other issues. The antenna presented in this paper consists of a novel butterfly-shaped monopole above the ground plane and offers a 10 dB return loss over UWB bandwidth. Radiation patterns across the UWB frequencies are investigated. Cross-polarization of radiation patterns is evaluated. The measured and simulated results agree well
