Abstract: In this paper, both frequency and time domain performances of a new compact planar antenna for the ultra-wideband (UWB) applications are fully investigated. The proposed antenna has the size of 12x18 mm² providing a fractional bandwidth more than 128123% (3.057 GHz to 13.98 GHz, S11<-10 dB). The results show that the proposed antenna performances in term of wide bandwidth, small size, gain and radiation pattern, transmission coefficient and system fidelity factor are very satisfactory. Moreover, by fabricating and testing the proposed antenna, the simulation results are fairly verified.
