Ultra-wideband (UWB) antennas are gaining prominence and becoming very attractive in modern and future wireless communication systems, mainly due to two factors. Firstly, people increasingly high demand for the wireless transmission rate and UWB properties such as high data rate, low power consumption and low cost, which give a huge boost to the UWB antennas’ research and development in industry and academia since the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) officially released the regulation for UWB technology in 2002. Secondly, now the wireless portable device need antenna operated in different frequencies for various wireless transmission functions, and operation bands and functions are increasing more and more, which may result in challenges in antenna design, such as antenna space limitation, multi antennas interference, and etc. One UWB antenna can be used to replace multi narrow-band antennas, which may effectively reduce the antenna number.
