A printed elliptical slot antenna fed by tapered microstrip line with U‐shaped tuning stub is proposed for ultra‐wideband (UWB) applications in this paper. The design parameters for achieving optimal performance are investigated. The operation and characteristics of the proposed antenna are also analyzed. Good agreement is obtained between the simulation and the experiment. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
