A novel Ultra Wideband (UWB) antenna on double substrates crossing is presented in this paper. Based on conical antenna and microstrip patch UWB antenna, the proposed antenna is omnidirectional, band-notched and easy to be fabricated. It operates from 2.6 GHz to 12 GHz with low Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR < 2), excluding a notch-band of 5.8 GHz. Except for good performance of VSWR, the proposed antenna keeps its radiating beam at about θ = 45 • in E-plane through the whole band. The UWB antenna is fed by a coaxial probe through a SMA connector. The length of the proposed monopole element above the ground is slightly less than λ/4 of the lowest frequency. The simulated and measured results of the VSWR, the gain and the radiation patterns for the proposed antennas are presented and discussed. Good agreement between simulated and measured results is demonstrated.
