1. An ultra-wide band antenna configured to operate in a frequency band, comprising:
a substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface opposite the top surface;
a first resonator disposed on the top surface,
the first resonator comprising a first major portion, a first minor portion in parallel alignment with the first major portion, and a first connecting portion coupled to each of the first major portion and the first minor portion, wherein the first resonator comprises a positive polarization;
a second resonator disposed on the bottom surface,
the second resonator comprising a second major portion having a second major length, a second minor portion having a second minor length, the second minor portion being in parallel alignment with the second major portion, and a second connecting portion coupled to each of the second major portion and the second minor portion, wherein the second resonator comprises a negative polarization; and
a third resonator disposed on the bottom surface,
the third resonator comprising a third major portion having a third major length, a third minor portion having a third minor length, the third minor portion being in parallel alignment with the third major portion, and a third connecting portion coupled to each of the third major portion and the third minor portion, wherein the third resonator comprises a negative polarization, and further wherein the second minor portion comprises the third major portion;
wherein the second resonator and the third resonator are configured to operate efficiently at different ranges of the frequency band.
