Design and Analysis of Quad-Band Notch Characteristics Uwb Antenna Using SLR Circuits

Abstract

In this paper, a quad-band notch characteristics ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna for Wi-MAX, L-WLAN, U-WLAN, and C-band applications is presented. The initial UWB antenna bandwidth is achieved in the 2 to 12.5 GHz frequency band by using the partial ground method. Spiral lossy resonator (SLR) slots are loaded into the UWB ground structure to achieve quad-band notch characteristics. Each SLRS circuit is accountable for a single notch characteristic by losing EM power at the notch frequency. A quad-band notch is accomplished in this antenna for WiMAX (3.24 to 3.56 GHz), L-WLAN (4.76 to 5.34 GHz), U-WLAN (5.58 to 5.91 GHz), and C-band (7.37 to 7.71 GHz) by loading four SLR slots circuits into the UWB antenna. The proposed antenna is engraved on a Rogers RO4003C (3.55) substrate having an overall volume of 50 * 40 * 1.524 mm 3 . The proposed antenna's performance has been verified through simulation and experiments.

“…Up to now, researchers have proposed various methods to design UWB antennas with fixed − and reconfigurable , band notch characteristics for mitigating interferences from the mentioned narrowband systems. Nevertheless, the reported antennas are mainly made on rigid substrates such as Rogers − and FR4, ,,,, which take up a certain space, and they cannot be mounted on curved terminals and are difficult to incorporate onto flexible/wearable devices. Thus, the researchers have focused on the design techniques for flexible UWB antennas with notch performances.…”

“…UWB has expanded the operational frequency band to a broader range of applications by using signals of nanosecond or picosecond pulses. It provides an extremely wideband spectrum for existing radio technologies such as Wi-Fi, WLAN, WiMAX, and other cellular wide area communications replacing short-wired links [7][8][9]. Moreover, Internet of Things [10], health care [11], remote sensing [12], wearable applications [13], and microwave imaging [14] have all made use of UWB technology.…”
