Abstract

The development of the broadband antenna for ultrawideband (UWB) applications such as communications, imaging, radar, and localization is discussed. UWB systems are based on transmitting and receiving impulses with extremely wide spectra. As the antennas for UWB should have broad operating bandwidths for impedance matching and high-gain radiation in desired directions, a frequency-independent antennas, which has a constant performance at all frequencies can be applied to broadband design. The antenna designs are abased on the the types of systems, and the system transfer function is a good measure to evaluate the performance of the antennas in terms of system gain (the magnitude of the system transfer function) and group delay (the derivative of phase of the system transfer function), for the impulsed systems. The planar antennas and their variations have showed the attractive merits, such as broad bandwidths for impedance and radiation, stable phase response and easy fabrication.
