Abstract-A novel microstrip fed ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with different band rejection techniques is presented in this paper. The antenna consists of a maple-leaf shaped radiator fed by a microstrip line with a finite ground plane on the other side of the substrate. The size of the UWB antenna is 30.5×35.5 mm 2 which is only about 0.3×0.35λ 2 at 3 GHz. The calculated impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna ranges from 3 GHz to 14 GHz with relatively stable radiation patterns. Two different techniques have been implemented to achieve band-notch characteristic in the 5.0-6.0 GHz WLAN frequency band. The first one uses an H-shaped slot cut away from the radiating patch while the other one uses two rectangular slits in the ground plane creating defected ground structure (DGS).

In this paper, a novel hybrid dielectric resonator (DR) antenna for Ultrawideband (UWB) short-range wireless communications is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of a microstrip fed monopole loaded with a half cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna of Rogers RO3010 mounted on RT5880 substrate with a finite ground plane. The microstrip line fed monopole antenna is on the other side of the substrate. Compared to the conventional circular cylindrical DR mounted on a finite ground plane (reference antenna), the proposed antenna has a reduction in the antenna size by about 30% with a bandwidth increase by about 22% than the reference antenna. The proposed antenna has a good impedance bandwidth. In addition, the proposed antenna has a quite higher and more stable gain than that of reference antenna. Moreover, the antenna has a good omni-directional radiation patterns in the H-plane. The proposed antenna is considered a good candidate for UWB short-range wireless communication systems.
