The authors present the results of a polygonal patch antenna for ultra-wideband applications covering a frequency band from 4.14 to 13.50 GHz. The fabricated antenna achieved a −10 dB impedance bandwidth in excess of 125% with an antenna size of 0.373λo×0.373λo×0.149λo at its centre frequency. The antenna's impedance bandwidth is 64% higher than what is currently obtainable with state-of-the-art folded-patch techniques. The proposed patch antenna has a polygonal-shape with a rectangular slot and shorting pins. The analysis of this antenna shows that bandwidth broadening is achieved by using a rectangular slot on the patch that is fed from a folded-patch feed, whereas the reduction in antenna size is achieved through the use of two shorting pins strategically located on the radiating patch.
