Due to rapid development in wireless technologies, ultra-wideband antennas are becoming increasingly important nowadays to cover many bands of frequencies and to support different applications by using single antenna. This paper outlines the design of an ultra- wideband conical horn antenna, which covers the range of frequencies from 6GHz to 18GHz with high gain, i.e., 23dB. This antenna can be effectively used for satellite communication and terrestrial broadcasting.
