ABSTRACT A bow‐tie antenna, suitable for through‐wall radars working in the 500–1600‐MHz band, is designed, fabricated, and measured. The proposed printed antenna and its ground plane based reflector can be readily integrated in a circuit board. A thorough characterization of the prototype confirms the numerically calculated radiation patterns. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 55:2329–2333, 2013
