Abstract

In this paper, a novel printed microstrip-fed monopole ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with triple-notched bands using triple-mode stepped impedance resonator (SIR) is presented. The proposed triple-mode SIR is found to have the advantages of introducing triple-notched bands and providing higher degree of freedom to adjust the resonant frequencies. By coupling the triple-mode SIR beside the microstrip feedline, band-rejected filtering properties around the 5.2 GHz WLAN band, the 6.8 GHz RFID band, and the X-band satellite communication band, are generated. To validate the design concept, a novel compact UWB antenna with three notched bands is designed and measured. Results indicate that the proposed compact antenna not only retains triple band-rejections capability but also owns omni directional radiation patterns across nearly whole operating bandwidth for UWB communications.
