Abstract

A compact microstrip-fed ultra-wideband (UWB) planar monopole antenna with dual band rejected characteristic is presented in this paper. By etching two identical square complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs) in the radiation patch, dual band rejections in the WiMAX and WLAN bands are achieved. The proposed antenna, with the size of 30 × 34 mm², has been constructed and tested. And the measured results show that the antenna can operate over the frequency band between 3 and 11 GHz for VSWR<2 with dual band notches of 3.4-3.6 GHz and 5.1-5.9 GHz. Besides, in the working bands, the antenna shows good omnidirectional radiation patterns in the H-plane and monopole-like radiation patterns in the E-plane and has good time-domain characteristic as well.
