Abstract
A state‐of‐the‐art multi‐octave band‐printed circuit log‐periodic antenna (LPA), which can characterize signal polarization accurately, has been designed and developed. A broadband compact‐size cylindrical cavity has been developed for the LPA. The feeding mechanism for the cavity‐backed structure was implemented using a Chebyshev‐tapered printed circuit balun. The antenna can be flush‐mounted with the platform surface and hence finds wide application in electronic warfare (EW) systems. The technique involved in the development of this antenna and its feeding mechanism along with the measurement results are presented. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract Two novel antennas for UWB communications, both inspired from bowtie and triangular patch structures, are presented and tested. This paper proposes their study and optimization in order to cover the new WPAN standard and facilitate their integration on communication devices. This work h
## Abstract This article presents the design of a novel ultra‐wideband microstrip‐fed planar monopole antenna with dual band‐notched characteristics. The proposed antenna achieved an impedance bandwidth of 3.1–11.7 GHz with VSWR <2, except the bandwidths of 3.3–4.0 GHz for WiMAX and 5.5–6.3 GHz for
## Abstract Many research works have emerged for ultra‐wideband (UWB) systems. One important issue is the antenna design to cover all frequency bands (3.1–10.6 GHz). In most applications, a reduced compact antenna is needed but with several requirements. In this paper, a novel triangle–semicircular
