Journal of Shanghai University (English Edition)

Abstract

This paper introduces the advances of ultra-wideband (UWB) and super-wideband (SWB) planar antennas based on the printed monopole, microstrip slot and other planar antenna designs in the last decade. A brief history of the ultra-wideband antennas is first provided. Several types of planar antennas for UWB systems with band-notched designs are reviewed. Special SWB planar antenna designs with the bandwidth ratio greater than 10:1 including metal-plate and printed monopole antennas and tapered slot antennas are presented and compared.
