Abstract. A cylindrical array based on radiators in the form of the cutting from a polyconic antenna is proposed and studied. Numerical simulation and optimization for both polarizations was performed using the finite element method. The results of the experimental study of a fragment of the array are presented. The results show the possibility of the array matching in the frequency band of 1: 100.

Key words: UWB radiator, antenna array, numerical modeling, matching, radiation pattern.
