In 2002, the FCC in the US authorized the unlicensed use of the ultrawideband (UWB) frequency spectrum for commercial applications in the range from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz with an emission limit of -41.3 dBm/MHz which is near to the thermal noise floor [1]. UWB communication systems operating in such a wide frequency band and low power emission level could easily be interfered by the existing nearby c...

An ultra-wide band band-pass filter using novel spiral stub-loaded triple-mode resonator (SSLTMR) is presented. New spiral stub loaded resonator is analyzed with odd and even modes analysis for this class of BPF, achieving higher band wide and size reduction. In order to have a good response characterized, two (SSL-TMRs) and two quarter wavelength digital coupled lines are used. This new design...

Magnetoencephalographic measurements (MEG) were used to examine the effect on the human auditory cortex of removing specific frequencies from the acoustic environment. Subjects listened for 3 h on three consecutive days to music "notched" by removal of a narrow frequency band centered on 1 kHz. Immediately after listening to the notched music, the neural representation for a 1-kHz test stimulus...

A compact printed ultra wideband (UWB) monopole antenna with multi-notched characteristics is presented. By inserting multiple E-shaped slot in micro strip feed line and ground plane, additional resonances are excited. The multi notch has been created by embedding a pair of – L shaped arm in the radiating patch and a modified E-slot defected ground structure in the feeding line. The designed an...

We present a compact ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna integrated with sharp notches with a detailed analysis of the mutual coupling of the multiple notch resonators. By utilizing complementary split ring resonators (CSRR) on the radiating semi-circular patch, we achieve the sharp notch-filtering of various bands within the UWB band without increasing the antenna size. The notched frequency bands in...

In this paper, Ultra-Wideband Multi-Input-Multi-Output (UWB-MIMO) antenna with band-notched features is introduced. The band notch of the designed by inserting T-strip into radiating patch to eliminate interference WiMAX applications from 3 4 GHz. To improve isolation and diversity between radiators, radiators are arranged orthogonally decoupling structure added them. proposed has a compact siz...

Abstract—An ultra wideband (UWB) coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed rectangular monopole antenna, which is of band notched characteristic for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), Worldwide inter-operability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) and the C-band satellite communications, is proposed, fabricated and measured. In order to obtain the desired dual band rejections, a piece of pentagonal slotline and a...

Abstract—In this paper, a planar monopole antenna for UltraWideband (UWB) communications with a notched behavior in the two sub-bands UNII1 and UNII2 of the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) band is presented. The antenna geometry is described by means of a spline curve and a rectangular slot. Numerical and experimental results are reported to assess the effectiveness of the proposed design in...
