A Novel Broadband 3D Pyramidal Antenna for UWB Applications

In this article, the authors have developed and presented a novel 3D pyramidal antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The proposed antenna has only 2 design parameters yet yields a wideband frequency response. The reflection co-efficient (S
11
) bandwidth (S
11
< -10 dB) covers the UWB frequency specifications from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz. Over the entire bandwidth, the radiation pattern is observed to be consistent as well.
