Abstract
In this paper, Tapered slot antenna of IR-UWB was Designed and fabricated using HFSS and we suggest the beam width of the broadband antenna using group-delay and fidelity. For this purpose, acquired data from the Network Analyzer was analyzed in the time domain by using the chirp-Z transform and Simulation was conducted and confirmed with the CST microwave studio. Analysis of the antenna radiation pattern is the antenna separation at intervals of 0.5 metres and then transmit antenna is fixed and the receiving antenna 360 degree intervals of 10 degree each, The results of the analysis are as follows, and analyzer of the fidelity of the antenna's performance. An analysis of more than 90 percent of the cases is less than ${\pm}40$ degrees in good fidelity, more than 90% less than ${\pm}40$ degrees and lowe fidelity. In conclusion, Analysis of Beam width of wideband antenna with more precise is possible through using these radiation pattern using fidelity.
