Optimized Planar Elliptical Dipole Antenna for UWB EMC Applications

This paper presents a novel method for optimizing a planar elliptical dipole antenna with elliptical slots, for ultrawideband electromagnetic compatibility applications. The antenna is required to achieve minimum return loss and boresight realized gain with an adequate gain flatness across the frequency range of 1-5 GHz. Such an antenna is a powerful tool for electromagnetic measurements, due to i...
