N2 - A conformal elliptical tapered slot antenna has been designed and developed for urtrawideband (UWB) wireless communications. It is studied mounted on a cylindrical surface and is proven to operate equally well compared to its planar rival. Return loss, gain and E and H plane radiation pattern simulations are presented covering the whole ultrawideband. The antenna has demonstrated good performance and the characteristics are not deterioration when the antenna is mounted on cylindrical surfaces of various radius when the direction of curvature is in the transverse direction. The presented study shows that the proposed antenna can be optimized and tested in planar shape and still be trusted to operate equally well under conditions like in wearable electronics, where their planar condition cannot be guaranteed.
