As Cecil says, a wider than expected bandwidth in an antenna of given
size, is an absolutely sure sign of greater loss somewhere in the
wideband antenna system.

I don't know your definition of an "expected bandwidth," but for a
reality check--many forms of panel antennas used in FM and TV broadcast
transmission have 20% or better SWR bandwidth, and radiate nearly every
watt that can be delivered by the feedline with almost NO "matching"
losses. They have been in routine use for decades at master antenna
transmit sites all over the world.

And, for the record, it wasn't me who said that.
