AbstractAbstract In this work, a planar UWB four elements antenna array with and without notch filter is designed. The feeding system of the array is an UWB four branch multiple segment power divider/combiner. Each branch has a three segments impedance transformer. Measurements show that the array works well within the band 3.1 to 10.6 with S11 lower than −10 dB. It is shown that the maximum gain varies with the operating frequency having a value of 8 to 12.3 dB and that it is higher than the gain of the single element.
