Band‐notched UWB planar monopole antenna using slotted conductor‐backed plane

Abstract

In this letter, a planar antenna with band‐notched characteristic is designed for ultrawideband application.Distinctive features of this antenna in comparison with the other reported antennas are the compact dimensions and omnidirectional radiation across the whole band of operation using slotted conductor‐backed plane. The ground plane is located at the bottom layer, which also includes a Γ‐shaped conductor‐backed plane used to widen the impedance bandwidth. Also, band‐notched characteristic is achieved by a Γ‐shaped form inside the slotted conductor‐backed plane. The measured results of the manufactured (18 × 18 mm2) antenna on 0.8‐mm FR4 substrate show that the antenna operates with VSWR less than 2 over the frequency band from 3.05 to 12.9 GHz, except a frequency notched band of 3.3–4.3 GHz. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A Compact C-Shaped Printed Uwb Antenna With Band-Notched Characteristic

“…Recently, several UWB antennas have been reported [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The typical shapes of these configurations are circle [1][2][3][4], rectangle [5][6][7], and folded shape [8,9]. Using coupled parasitic elements and etching different kinds of slots on the patch or ground are the common methods to realize bandnotched performance.…”
