A notch antenna comprising: a planar dielectric substrate; and a two-sided metallization comprising a first metallization layer disposed on one major surface of said substrate; a second metallization layer disposed on the major surface of said substrate opposite said first major surface; and said first and second metallizations being configured to form a two-sided microstrip region at one end of said substrate, a two-sided flared notch antenna region at the opposite end of said substrate, and a continuously two-sided transmission line in a longitudinally center region interconnecting said regions, the longitudinal edges of said first and second metallization layers transitioning smoothly from said microstrip region to said two-sided, flared notch antenna region.
