Abstract

An ultra-wideband (UWB) monopole antenna with a band-notch characteristic is presented which needs only two parameters to tune the notch frequency. The proposed monopole antenna is embedded with a crescent slot, whose length is determined by parametric study. By adjusting the slot length, the notched frequency band within the antenna's operating bandwidth can be easily controlled. Also, the time-domain behaviours are discussed and the fidelity factor is calculated.
