A Simple and Compact Planar Ultra Wideband Antenna with Single OR Dual Band-Notched Characteristics
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research, Vol. 123, 47-65, 2012
Abstract
A printed monopole ultra wideband (UWB) antenna with frequency band-notched characteristics is proposed and investigated. The antenna consists of a half-disk shaped structure combined with an inverted isosceles trapezoid structure. To achieve the frequency band notched characteristics, an open-ended thin slit with a length of about one quarter guided wavelength is inserted on the radiator. Multiple slits can be employed to realize multiple frequency band notched characteristics. To validate the concept, two prototypes are designed, fabricated and tested. The first is a single band notched UWB antenna whereas the second is a dual band notched UWB antenna. The simulated and measured results of both antennas are presented shown a reasonable agreement between them. The results also confirm the proposed UWB antenna design can achieve superior dual band-notch performance at desired frequency bands.
