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 first tapered portion extends in a perpendicular direction from a first edge of the planar portion towards the ground plane. A lower edge of the first tapered portion is spaced from the ground plane by a predetermined gap. A second tapered portion extends in a perpendicular direction from a second edge of the planar portion towards the ground plane and includes a first portion that is connected to the ground plane.
