UWB printed plaque monopole antennas for tri‐band rejection

Abstract

In this article, a printed plaque monopole antenna fed by a microstrip line for ultrawideband (UWB) width with triple notch band has been presented.The antenna is then modified to possess band rejection at the wireless local area network (5.1–5.8 GHz) by an inverted U‐shape slot or Π‐shape slot, or Λ–shape slot within the radiating patch. In addition, two half wavelength slots (U‐slot) are cut in the radiating patch to generate the first and third notch band in 3.25–3.75 GHz for WiMAX and 7.25–7.75 GHz for down link of X‐band satellite communication system. Surface current distributions and transmission line model are used to analyze the effect of these slots. The proposed antennas are simulated and fabricated. Radiation pattern shows good omnidirectional radiation patterns in the H‐plane and monopole like patterns in the E‐plane. The proposed antenna gain varies from 1.63 to 5.05 dB over the whole UWB region excluding at notch band. The design antenna has a compact size of 30 × 30 mm2. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A new inset-fed UWB printed antenna with triple 3.5/5.5/7.5-GHz band-notched characteristics

“…With its compact size (28 mm × 24 mm), the proposed antenna is among the smallest available triple notched band UWB antennas, making it easy to integrate into system circuits. This particular antenna is applicable as a multifunctional antenna to cut back Coplanar waveguide [11] 30 mm × 30 mm 0.30 λ 0 × 0.30 λ 0 2.86-11. the number of antennas put in wireless devices for accessing multiple wireless networks. Moreover, the stable radiation patterns of the proposed antenna, along with its excellent notch characteristics, make it suitable for use in UWB applications.…”

“…Various UWB antenna designs have been published including single band-notched [3][4][5], dual band-notched [6][7][8], and triple band-notched [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] designs. The basic technique for achieving notched band is to etch or cut apertures of numerous structures within the patch element [9][10][11]. In [12], triple band-notches were obtained by means of launching a stepped impedance resonator together with fork type stubs.…”

Natarajamani et al [93] proposed a compact two-element diversity planar antenna for UWB application with band-notch function.…”

Compact Tri-Band Notched Characteristics UWB Antenna for WiMAX, WLAN and X-Band Applications

“…In [20] a compact triple band-notched UWB printed monopole antenna with two round shaped slots inserted in radiating patch and, a pair of C-shaped slots etched in the ground plane is proposed with frequency range from 3 to 15 GHz, the designed antenna has a size of 31×22 mm 2 . Printed plaque monopole antenna fed by a microstrip line for UWB with triple notch band have been suggested in literature [21], the design antenna (of size 30×30 mm 2 ) is modified to retain band rejection at the wireless local area network using an inverted U-shape slot or Π-shape slot, or Λ-shape slot within the radiating patch; two U-slots are cuts in the radiating patch to generate the first and third notch band in 3.25-3.75 GHz for WiMAX and 7.25-7.75 GHz for down link of X-band satellite communication system. An UWB printed monopole antenna with triple bands notched operates from 2.9 to 10.9 GHz with an overall size of 27×25 mm 2 is proposed in [10]; by etching two round shape slots in the radiating patch and a pair of rotated V-shape slot are etched on the ground plane, the notched characteristics are achieved.…”
