An ultra-wideband assembly for coupling to an electrical circuit having a circuit board with a conductive micro-strip line, the assembly comprising: a non-conductive tapered core having an outer surface; a distal end; and a proximate end; said distal end being larger than said proximate end; a conductive wire having a proximate end and a distal end and being wound about at least a portion of said non-conductive tapered core; said proximate end of said conductive wire extending away from said non-conductive tapered core and configured for conductively coupling to a micro-strip line of a circuit board; said distal end of said conductive wire extending away from said distal end of said non-conductive tapered core; said conductive wire contacting at least a portion of said outer surface of said non-conductive tapered core; a supporting bracket coupled to said non-conductive tapered core and having a base portion including a first end configured for conductively coupling to a circuit board such that the base portion extends from the circuit board at substantially a right angle thereto; and a core attachment portion being coupled to a second end of the base portion at a right angle and having a first flat surface distal from the first end of the base portion, two flat second surfaces perpendicular to the first flat surface, each of the first and second flat surfaces having an edge distal from the base portion, the three edges defining a face that is slanted relative to a direction in which the base portion extends from the circuit board when coupled thereto, which slanted face is coupled to the distal end of the non-conductive tapered core and has an area smaller than the distal end of the non-conductive tapered core; wherein said core attachment portion is further conductively coupled to said distal end of said conductive wire; and further wherein said supporting bracket is configured to dispose said non-conductive tapered core at a predetermined angle to said circuit board, the predetermined angle being determined by an angle of the slanted face. a non-conductive tapered core having an outer surface; a distal end; and a proximate end; said distal end being larger than said proximate end; an outer surface; a distal end; and a proximate end; said distal end being larger than said proximate end; a conductive wire having a proximate end and a distal end and being wound about at least a portion of said non-conductive tapered core; said proximate end of said conductive wire extending away from said non-conductive tapered core and configured for conductively coupling to a micro-strip line of a circuit board; said distal end of said conductive wire extending away from said distal end of said non-conductive tapered core; said conductive wire contacting at least a portion of said outer surface of said non-conductive tapered core; a supporting bracket coupled to said non-conductive tapered core and having a base portion including a first end configured for conductively coupling to a circuit board such that the base portion extends from the circuit board at substantially a right angle thereto; and a core attachment portion being coupled to a second end of the base portion at a right angle and having a first flat surface distal from the first end of the base portion, two flat second surfaces perpendicular to the first flat surface, each of the first and second flat surfaces having an edge distal from the base portion, the three edges defining a face that is slanted relative to a direction in which the base portion extends from the circuit board when coupled thereto, which slanted face is coupled to the distal end of the non-conductive tapered core and has an area smaller than the distal end of the non-conductive tapered core; a base portion including a first end configured for conductively coupling to a circuit board such that the base portion extends from the circuit board at substantially a right angle thereto; and a core attachment portion being coupled to a second end of the base portion at a right angle and having a first flat surface distal from the first end of the base portion, two flat second surfaces perpendicular to the first flat surface, each of the first and second flat surfaces having an edge distal from the base portion, the three edges defining a face that is slanted relative to a direction in which the base portion extends from the circuit board when coupled thereto, which slanted face is coupled to the distal end of the non-conductive tapered core and has an area smaller than the distal end of the non-conductive tapered core; wherein said core attachment portion is further conductively coupled to said distal end of said conductive wire; and further wherein said supporting bracket is configured to dispose said non-conductive tapered core at a predetermined angle to said circuit board, the predetermined angle being determined by an angle of the slanted face.
