Printed Monopole Antenna for Ultra-Wideband Application with Tunable Triple Band-Notched Characteristics

Abstract

In this paper, a compact ultra-wideband (UWB) microstrip-fed printed monopole antenna with triple band-notched characteristics is proposed. The proposed design consists of a radiating patch with two bevels at the bottom edge and the modified ground plane with two bevels of its upper edge to cause the wideband from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz for UWB application. Additionally, a triangular cut is introduced at the upper edge of the ground plane for improving the impedance matching beyond 6 GHz. The band notch at 3.4 GHz is achieved with a pair of slots along patch length and placed symmetrically on both the sides of the patch whereas notch band at 5.2 GHz is achieved using complementary split ring resonator (CSRR) on the patch. The third notch frequency at 5.8 GHz also achieved by using a pair of CSRR on the ground plane. The antenna size is 24 mm 9 34.6 mm and designed using FR4 substrate having e r = 4.4 and thickness of 0.8 mm. Design and optimizations have been carried out using HFSS v13.0 and there is good agreement with measured results. The proposed antenna exhibits a nearly omnidirectional radiation pattern in the H-plane, and a dipole-like radiation pattern in the E-plane for the entire pass band.

“…The U shaped antenna with dual notched band is proposed, the bands is stopped with CSRR (Complementary Split Ring Resonator) and T shaped slot and the size of antenna is 24.6x38.1 mm 2 [7]. The triple notched band antenna with dimension of 24x34.6 mm is designed, the height of substrate is .8mm [8]. The circular antenna is presented to stop triple bands by using square short resonator, the size of the antenna is 40x20x0.508 mm 3 [9].…”

Design of wideband antenna with band notch characteristics based on single notching element

“…To overcome the problem of the coexisting bands in the UWB range, different wideband antennas have been proposed with stopband characteristics. Several conventional techniques have been proposed to reduce the interference of coexisting band in the UWB range, which includes the simple method that is cutting of slots from the ground plane and from the radiator . The notch characteristics can also be achieved by etching out a rectangular slots from the feed line, also by loading a resonators below the feed line near the feed line on the same side with loaded nonconcentric open‐ended rings on the back side of the radiator .…”

“…, four notching elements and in Refs. , six notching elements were used for tri‐notch characteristics. However, etching out of the slots from the ground or the radiator can lead to influence the radiation performance of the antenna, and the UWB system become complex by employing a technique of multiple notching elements.…”

Design of CPW-Fed High Rejection Triple Band-Notch Uwb Antenna on Silicon Substrate With Diverse Wireless Applications

“…A radiating patch with two bevels at the bottom edge and the modified ground plane with dual bevels of its upper edge result in a UWB monopole antenna. By placing a symmetrical pair of slots along patch length with CSRR on the patch and simultaneously introducing CSRR on the ground plane, triple notched characteristics are obtained [15]. A planar elliptical shape UWB antenna with multiple fractal-shaped slots and a Sierpinski fractal curved-shape ring resonator at the back of the substrate is reported for triple-notch distinctiveness [16,17].…”
