Abstract: This paper reviews various antenna design for achieving Ultra Wide Band (UWB) performance at Ultra High Frequency (UHF) range. The paper discusses the dipole antenna with varying feeding arrangement that can provide UWB performance. Tightly Coupled Dipole Array (TCDA) which utilizes coupling between the elements to enhance the bandwidth is reviewed. Balun is an integral component of a dipole antenna. Various balun topologies that can provide UWB performance are also discussed and reviewed.
Keywords: TCDA, UWB, UHF, Balun, Dipoles, Antenna Array, CPW, CPS, TCPAs.
