Abstract

AbstractPerformance in both frequency‐domain and time‐domain for a printed super‐wideband antenna is studied and presented in this article. The proposed antenna consists of a corner‐rounded ground plane, a tapered microstrip feeder and a novel radiating patch which is made by one half‐disc and one half‐ellipse. This configuration allows to implement a ratio impedance bandwidth more than 25:1 for voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) < 2. Critical antenna characteristics including antenna transfer function, group delay and time‐domain pulse responses are experimentally investigated and analyzed in detail by setting up a transceiving antenna system, which give designers a thorough understanding and useful information about antenna performance and application it exhibits behind the extremely broad bandwidth. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
