Abstract

In this paper, a planar microstrip UWB monopole antenna with a good band-rejection is presented. By using a pair of arc shaped parasitic elements around the patch, an excellent notched frequency band for rejecting the WLAN band (5--6\,GHz) can be obtained. The arc shaped strips are parametrically studied and the effects of them on the radiation patterns and time domain behaviour of the UWB antenna are investigated.
