TL;DR: The final outcome of this paper is that there exist numbers of UWB antennas, but not each of them is suited for any application, especially in view of radar and communication systems requirements.

Abstract: Basic principles for ultra-wide-band (UWB) radiation are presented and discussed in this paper. The discussion starts with a description of the influence of antennas on UWB transmission. The parameters characterizing antennas in time and in frequency domain are specified. Since the number of possible antenna structures is nearly unlimited, the focus will be on a classification according to different radiation principles. For each of these mechanisms, the typical advantages and disadvantages are discussed, and an example antenna and its characteristics are presented. For a wireless engineer, the problem to solve is the proper design of an antenna with the desired radiation characteristics. The final outcome of this paper is that there exist numbers of UWB antennas, but not each of them is suited for any application, especially in view of radar and communication systems requirements.

Frequency independent antennas
V. Rumsey
- 01 Jan 1966
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the pattern converges to the characteristic pattern as the frequency is raised, if a is not \infty, and that the impedance converges with the characteristic impedance for all a, assuming a to be positive, \varpi ranges from - ∞ to some finite value which determines the low frequency limit.

Fractal antenna engineering: the theory and design of fractal antenna arrays
TL;DR: Some important properties of fractal arrays are introduced, including the frequency-independent multi-band characteristics, schemes for realizing low-sidelobe designs, systematic approaches to thinning, and the ability to develop rapid beam-forming algorithms by exploiting the recursive nature of fractals.
