Abstract In this paper, a novel, small, and compact planar antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications is proposed. The antenna is an extension of microstrip slot antenna technology. To achieve ultra-wideband characteristics, a tapered microstrip fork-shaped stub has been employed. A symmetric polygon wide slot has been placed on the antenna ground. The design was investigated numerically to obtain proper dimensions for the antenna and a prototype was constructed. The return loss, pattern and gain of the prototype antenna have been measured. The transient pulse signal fidelity has also been investigated by finite-difference timedomain (FDTD) method. Experimental results show that the proposed antenna design has promising characteristics for UWB applications.
