Abstract

An elliptical monopole planar antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) with penta-band-notched characteristics is presented. The frequency band rejection at 3.7 GHz to 4.2 GHz for C-band satellite communication and 5.15 GHz to 5.35 GHz for lower Wireless local area network (WLAN) is achieved by etching two elliptical split ring resonators (ESRRs) in the radiating patch. Dual notches at INSAT (4.5 GHz-4.7 GHz) and upper WLAN band (5.725 GHz-5.825 GHz) are created by special type of metamaterial, i.e., a two via double slot type EBG structure. Then, ITU band (7.95 GHz-8.55 GHz) is suppressed by adding a step impedance resonator (SIR) near the feed line. The proposed antenna is designed over a low cost FR4 material substrate, has a miniaturized size of 0.317λ × 0.317λ × 0.007λ, and possesses the impedance bandwidth from 2.5 GHz to 11 GHz. The band notch behaviour of antenna at specific frequencies is explained by mathematical model and justified with numerically simulated surface current distribution and impedance plot. Constant gain with the peak value of 3 dB is measured for UWB except notch bands. Also, this antenna has application in S(1.97-2.69 GHz), LTE(450 MHz-3.8 GHz), C(3.4-7.025 GHz), X(7.25-8.44 GHz), Ku(10.7-14.5 GHz) bands. The proposed antenna structure is a promising candidate for wireless technology.
