Abstract

Low-profile directional ultra-wideband (UWB) antennas are strongly demanded in many UWB applications. However, few such UWB antennas have been reported. To meet the demands, an original novel low-profile directional UWB antenna-the self-grounded Bow-Tie is developed and presented here. This new UWB antenna has a compact and simple geometry, and ultra-wideband performance, such as presented here over a frequency range of 2-15 GHz with about -10 dB reflection coefficient, stable radiation patterns, and good time-domain impulse response. Measurements of a prototype of the antenna have verified the design and the simulation. It can be foreseen that this new antenna will find many applications in the different areas in UWB technology.
