A planar super‐wideband (SWB) antenna fed by an asymmetric coplanar strip is proposed, fabricated, and tested. The antenna consists of a hexagonal loop strip in which a signal strip is prolonged, curved, and shorted to a ground plane to facilitate SWB characteristics. In addition, by adding a boomerang‐shaped strip to the ground plane, the effective electrical length is increased, thereby decreasing the lowest operating frequency. The simulated results show that the proposed antenna exhibits a −10 dB reflection bandwidth from 1.18 to 49.22 GHz corresponding to a ratio bandwidth of 41.7:1. The measured results of the fabricated antenna are also represented and compared with the simulated results. The antenna gain changes from 2.05 to 10.62 dBi within the measured frequency range.
