A novel ultra-wideband antenna with band elimination characteristic is presented, which has omnidirectional patterns in the E-plane and impedance bandwidth of about 3-18 GHz with VSWR below 2. The proposed antenna is fed by microstrip line, and consists of the monopole type with two parasitism-patches rejecting 5.15-5.825 GHz bandlimited by IEEE 802.11a and HIPERLAN=2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
