Abstract

A novel compact planar antenna with a frequency band-filter characteristic for UWB applications is proposed and investigated. Having a dual-Y-shaped slot on the patch, a frequency-notched characteristic at 5.2 GHz is obtained. The band-notched mechanism of the designed antenna is implemented and experimentally studied.The designed antenna satisfies the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) requirement of less than 2.0 in the frequency band between 2.8 and 18.6 GHz while showing the band rejection performance in the frequency band from 5.0 to 5.6 GHz. This technique is suitable for creating ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with narrow frequency-notched characteristics.
