This article presents an elliptical shaped slot ultra‐wideband antenna with high gain (10.3 dBi) and compact size (107.7 × 68 mm 2 ) that designed and improved by four steps. Also, it can perform in an impedance bandwidth (IBW) from 0.98 GHz to 4.5 GHz that is satisfactory IBW for ground penetrating radar (GPR) application. The proposed antenna is fabricated for experimental testing and getting GPR images in a sandbox. Simulation and measured results ensure a desirable GPR antenna.
