A Review of Ultra-Wideband Array Antennas

This paper reviews development of ultra-wideband (UWB) array antennas. In these existing techniques, the planar UWB array antennas can compromise between cost/ complexity and excellent electrical performance. The technological evolution of planar UWB arrays followed by the design challenges and key technologies are also given.
