A modified slot Bow‐Tie antenna is presented in this article. The presented modified antenna shows improvement in the VSWR previous reported results. Moreover, the dispersion characteristics of the antenna both in frequency and time domains have been analyzed and illustrated as well. The satisfactory agreement between experimental and simulation results proves the applicability of the antenna in UWB communications. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
