This paper presents a conformal log-periodic array covering an ultra-wideband of 2-18 GHz. It employs monopoles of different heights for the high band, top-hat monopoles for the middle band, and folded top-hat monopoles for the low band. The top hats help to achieve a low profile of the monopoles wh...
