Abstract
In this paper a planar antenna is studied for ultrawide-band (UWB) applications. This antenna consists of a wide-band tapered-slot feeding structure, curved radiators and a parasitic element. It is a modification of the conventional dual exponential tapered slot antenna and can be viewed as a printed dipole antenna with tapered slot feed. The design guideline is introduced, and the antenna parameters including return loss, radiation patterns and gain are investigated. To demonstrate the applicability of the proposed antenna to UWB applications, the transfer functions of a transmitting-receiving system with a pair of identical antennas are measured. Transient waveforms as the transmitting-receiving system being excited by a simulated pulse are discussed at the end of this paper.
