This paper presents a printed drop shaped antenna with a rectangular ground plane which belongs to the class of printed monopole antenna and is small (20. 25cm¬2), compact, conformal and provides an ultra wide band performance giving very good omnidirectional radiation pattern similar to monopole antenna. It has an impedance bandwidth of around 16. 815 GHz (return loss< 10 dB) ranging from 1. 855 GHz - 18. 67 GHz and a constant group delay over this range.
