A new coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with band notched characteristic is proposed in this paper. In order to achieve sharp and controllable notch-band characteristic, one pair of half-wavelength stubs and slits is introduced inside the tapered slot and circular patch, respectively, on the basis of a UWB antenna. Simulated and measured results show that the antenna has a reflection coefficient (S 11) less than −10 dB in the range of 3.0 to 11 GHz, which can meet the requirements of a UWB communication system. It shows a good notch characteristic in 5.0∼5.8 GHz, which can cover the operating band of wireless local area network (WLAN) well. The antenna has a stable gain and good radiation characteristics in the pass band. It is simple in structure and easy in fabrication. Moreover, it has broad application prospects.
