Abstract
A new type of ultra-wide band(UWB) conical antennas ridged by a novel taper finline radiator(TFR) used as radiation and receiving of the short pulse are developed. In which, a new UWB feed structure of a coplanar waveguide to finline and a TFR ridge are used initially. The experiment results show the characteristics of high fidelity, high efficiency, and high gain compared with some common broad-band antennas such as the biconical antennas, V-conical antennas, logarithm periodic antennas, and the other TEM horns.
