A super-wideband antenna based on a propeller shaped printed monopole with CPW feed is presented in this paper. The enhanced bandwidth is obtained by modifying the disk of a conventional circular disk monopole to resemble a propeller. This design produces an extremely wide impedance bandwidth from 3 to 35 GHz with an impedance bandwidth ratio of 11.6:1. The gain of the proposed antenna varies from 4 dBi to 5.2 dBi. The antenna has fairly stable radiation characteristics throughout its operating band. The developed prototype is fabricated and measured. Simulation and experimental results are in good agreement.
