Abstract

Two kinds of band-notched ultra wide-band slot antennas are proposed. Printed on a dielectric substrate of FR4with relative permittivity of 4.4 and fed by a 50Ω microstrip line, the proposed antennas introduce semicircular annular strips to reject the frequency band (5.15-5.85 GHz) limited by IEEE802.11a. The parameters which affect the performance of the antennas in terms of its frequency domain characteristics are investigated in this paper.
