Abstract
An ultra wide band antenna includes a ground plane and an antenna body. The antenna body includes a planar portion arranged above and parallel to the ground plane. A tapered side portion extends perpendicular to the planar portion in a direction towards the ground plane, wraps at least 50% around an outer edge of the planar portion and tapers in height from a feed side of the antenna body in a direction towards a back side of the antenna body. A cylinder is connected to a bottom surface of the planar portion and to the ground plane. A connecting portion connects the back side at the outer edge of the planar portion to the ground plane.

An ultra wide band antenna, comprising:
- a ground plane;
- and
- an antenna body including:
- a planar portion arranged above and parallel to the ground plane;
- a tapered side portion extending perpendicular to the planar portion in a direction towards the ground plane, wrapping at least 50% around an outer edge of the planar portion and tapering in height from a feed side of the antenna body in a direction towards a back side of the antenna body;
- a cylinder connected to a bottom surface of the planar portion and to the ground plane;
- and
- a connecting portion connecting the back side at the outer edge of the planar portion to the ground plane.
An ultra wide band antenna, comprising:
- a first antenna body including:
- a first planar portion;
- a first tapered side portion extending perpendicular to the first planar portion, wrapping around at least 50% of an outer edge of the first planar portion and tapering in height from a feed side of the first antenna body in a direction towards a back side of the first antenna body;
- and
- a first cylinder connected to a bottom surface of the first planar portion;
- and
- a second antenna body including:
- a second planar portion;
- a second tapered side portion extending perpendicular to the second planar portion, wrapping around at least 50% of an outer edge of the second planar portion and tapering in height from a feed side of the second antenna body in a direction towards a back side of the second antenna body;
- and
- a second cylinder connected to a bottom surface of the second planar portion, wherein the second antenna body is arranged in a mirrored position adjacent to the first antenna body and wherein edges of the first cylinder and the second cylinder are connected together, and
- a connecting portion connecting at least one of the first planar portion and the first tapered side portion on the back side of the first antenna body to at least one of the second planar portion and the second tapered side portion on the back side of the second antenna body.
