An ultra wideband (UWB) monopole antenna with dual band-notch characteristic is proposed. Dual arm spiral resonators (DASR) are placed on both sides of the feed line to create band notches at 5.25 and 5.8GHz for the upper and lower WLAN bands respectively. First the antenna is optimized individually for both upper and lower WLAN band-notch behaviors then embedded together for dual band-notch ch...

Abstract—This paper presents a novel fractal antenna structure proposed for UWB (Ultra – Wideband) applications. The frequency band 3.1-10.6GHz released by FCC (Federal Communication Commission) as the commercial operation of UWB has been chosen as frequency range for this antenna based on coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed and circular shapes fulfilled according to fractal geometry. The proposed an...

Johnna Powell and Anantha Chandrakasan Massachusetts Institute of Technology 50 Vassar St. Rm 38-107, Cambridge, MA 02139 johnna, [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper introduces two antenna designs for Ultra Wideband 3.1-10.6 GHz communication. The primary antenna design is an equiangular spiral slot patch antenna with an outer radius of 2.25 cm. The incorporation of a ground plane enables c...

This paper proposes a novel approach to reduce size and increase the impedance bandwidth of microstrip UWB (Ultra-Wideband) antenna, when using a thick substrate, so that it can be used for WPAN application, especially for mobile and portable devices.The application of gap-coupled capacitive feeding mechanism for achieving UWB with microstrip antenna has also been proposed.. The proposed antenn...

Since the beginning of the human civilization mankind is trying to communicate with the others. It’s the communication process i.e. the sharing of feelings, emotions and information has made us the greatest creation of God on this green earth. It all started with hand gestures, then sounds. Communication. in wireless communication we mainly exploit the Electromagnetic Spectrum. Earlier systems ...

This paper presents the development of an Ultra Wide Band (UWB) monopole antenna with dual band notch characteristics. Modified crown-square shaped fractal slots in the ground-plane are implemented to enhance the impedance bandwidth to around 58% as compared to conventional square monopole antenna without slots. Impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is approximately 114% with Voltage stan...

A compact Ultra Wide Band (UWB) antenna with coplanar waveguide feed has been designed and results are verified in this paper. The antenna has been designed on FR4 substrate with dielectric constant (εr) of 4.4 and dimensions of 32mm x 26mm x 0.8mm. The presented antenna shows return loss characteristics in the band of 3.1 to 10.6 GHz as prescribed by FCC, USA. Parametric studies have been done...

A novel planar antenna with WiMAX and WLAN bandnotched characteristics is presented for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The UWB antenna consists of a staircase-shaped radiating element, a microstrip feedline and a modified ground plane. To realize WiMAX band-notched characteristic, a pair of hook-shaped slots is etched on the radiating element. Two folded stubs extending from the ground plan...

An ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with a narrow frequency notch is presented. The antenna has been fabricated on a FR4 substrate and occupies an area of only 25 × 25 mm. Starting from a Circular planar patch exhibiting a VSWR smaller than 2.5 in the 3.5−10 GHz band, a frequency notch at 5.65 GHz is introduced by two open slots above the coplanar waveguide feeding. The measured return loss shows a...

A microstrip elliptical patch antenna was designed on liquid crystal polymer substrate for ultra wide band wireless communications. The proposed ultra wide band antenna simply consist of an elliptical patch with coaxial feeding and liquid crystal polymer substrate of 3.16 permittivity and 0.004 dielectric loss tangent placed on the ground plane. At operating frequencies of 4.5, 6, 8 GHz, the pr...
