Abstract
In this paper, design of UWB Antenna which propagate impulse by pulse fidelity and distortion equation was induced and applied. UWB Antenna which has directional characteristic in UWB band should have low radiation loss and impulse radiation distortion. As a result, the paper designed wide band impedance transformer and microstrip slotline transit region structured antenna feeder line. By using the fabricated UWB antenna, the radiation pattern was measured in the radio anechoic chamber. Pulse fidelity of impulse radiation show good results more than 93% within ${\pm}30^{\circ}$ beam width.
