A simple method of approximation of the ellipticalpatch with stepped-edge polygon is proposed as an introductionto wider studies over the planar ultrawideband (UWB) antennas.The general idea is to replace the elliptical patch with an equivalentpolygonal patch, with minimum loss in the performance. Theprinciples of the proposed method are presented in this letter, aswell as the results of performed numerical studies and its experimentalverification. A satisfying level of agreement of the parametersof the original antenna and its stepped-edge polygon versionindicates that the proposed approximation can be applied withoutimportant loss of antenna performance.
