Design of compact planar antenna with dual notched bands using slotted rectangular patch for ultrawideband applications

Abstract

A simple rectangular monopole antenna with dual bandnotched characteristics is proposed. The main features of the antenna are the compact dimensions and omnidirectional radiation across the whole band of operation. Dual band-notched characteristics are achieved by two pair of mirror inverted L-shaped slots at the two sides of the radiator. The measured results show that the proposed antenna operates over the frequency band between 2.5 and 11.9 GHz (131%), defined by VSWR < 2, except two frequencies notched bands of 3.25-4.25 GHz and 5.1-6 GHz. The designed antenna has a small size of 12 Â 14 mm 2 . Experimental and simulated antenna results show that the proposed antenna has a desirable VSWR level, radiation pattern, and gain characteristics for ultrawideband frequency band range.

Compact Planar Super-Wideband Monopole Antenna with Four Notched Bands

“…Recently, ultra-wideband (UWB) systems have attracted the attention of researchers, due to their high data transmission rate and low power consumption [1,2]. According to the regulations defined by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), a frequency range of 3.1-10.6 GHz was allocated for UWB systems [3].…”
