In this article, a novel omnidirectional semicircular disk antenna is investigated both numerically and experimentally.Two prototypes of different dimensions are fabricated and measured, resulting in a best impedance bandwidth ratio of more than 80:1. The antenna is considerably promising for future ultrawide‐band applications. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
