Abstract

A novel printed monopole antenna covering 2.4-2.484 GHz (Bluetooth), 2.5-2.69 GHz (IMT-E) and 3.1-10.6 GHz (UWB) frequency bands is presented. The entire frequency bands are obtained by a modified U-shaped radiator and a modified ground plane. To prevent possible interference between UWB systems and other existing wireless systems such as WLAN and WiMAX, a SCRLH resonator structure is placed next to the feed line. Characteristics of the Bluetooth and IMT-E bands are further enhanced by two quarter-wavelength strips added on each side of the radiator. The proposed antenna can be easily printed on a 1.6-mm-thick FR4 substrate with dimensions of 30 × 41 mm². Simulation and experimental results show that the antenna yields an impedance bandwidth of 2.3-2.8 and 3-12 GHz with -10 dB reflection coefficient, except for the dual notched bands of 3.2-3.6 for WiMAX and 4.9-6.1 GHz for WLAN. The electrical characteristics in frequency and time domain show suitability of this antenna for use in UWB systems.
