Abstract

Recent developments of the ultra-wideband (UWB) planar antennas are reviewed, where the progress in UWB plate monopole antennas, UWB printed monopole antennas and the UWB printed slot antennas is introduced and compared. In addition, the UWB printed antennas with the band-notched functions are also presented.
