Stripline Slot Antenna for UWB Communications

An ultrawideband (UWB) stripline slot antenna is presented in frequency and in time domain. Experiments are carried out to investigate its return loss, its radiation behavior, and its time-domain response. The antenna offers a 130% impedance bandwidth. Moreover its 108% radiation bandwidth covers the UWB band with a linear radiated far-field phase. It points out the fact that this antenna can be used in UWB applications
