Abstract

A planar ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with triple-notched bands using triple-mode stepped impedance resonator (SIR) is presented in this paper. By coupling the novel triple-mode SIR beside the microstrip feedline, band-rejected filtering properties around the C-band satellite communication band, the 5.8 GHz WLAN band, and the X-band satellite communication band are generated. The notched frequencies can be adjusted according to specification by altering the triple-mode SIR. The results indicate that the proposed planar antenna not only retains an ultra wide bandwidth but also owns triple band-rejections capability. The UWB antenna demonstrates omnidirectional radiation patterns across nearly whole operating bandwidth, which is suitable for UWB communications.
