A small tapered slot antenna with a notched band for wireless applications is proposed in this paper. A modified transition from microstrip to slotline is used to introduce a notched band from 4.90 to 6.34GHz. Corrugated edges on the ground is also used to improve the radiation patterns at the lower frequency band. Relatively stable radiation patterns and consistent group delay except the notch...

A novel tapered slot antenna (TSA) with 3.5/5.5 GHz dual band-notched characteristics for ultra-wideband (UWB) radios is proposed in this paper. To realize dual band-notched characteristics at the TSA, we employ (a) a pair of nested C-shaped stubs beside the feed line and (b) a broadband microstrip-to-slot-line transition with an Archimedean spiral-shaped slot. The proposed antenna has been suc...

─ In this study, we present an UltraWideband (UWB) monopole antenna with bandnotched function. The proposed antenna is fed by a microstrip line. By using two modified forkshaped slots in the ground plane, bandwidth is increased that provides a wide usable fractional bandwidth of more than 135% (2.82-15.63). In order to achieve band-rejected performance, a cross-ring slot was inserted at the squ...

In this paper, a compact ultra-wideband microstrip-fed annular ring antenna with band notch characteristics for wireless local area network (WLAN) and dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) is proposed. The proposed antenna comprises an annular ring patch and a partial ground plane with a rectangular slot. The notched frequency band is achieved by etching a partial annular slot in the lower...

In this manuscript, a novel design of ultra-wideband (UWB) monopole antenna with dual frequency band-stop performance is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of an ordinary square radiating patch with a pair of rotated T-shaped slits, and a modified ground plane with an inverted Ω-shaped and a pair of rectangular-ring slots. In the presented structure, by cutting a pair of rectangularring sl...

Patch antenna with double notches and triangular tapered feeding line has been investigated. It is observed that broadband matched double-notched patch antenna is suitable for tri-band operations from simulation and experimental results. It shows a measured return loss well below –10 dB in all three-frequency bands of operation. It has also been observed that the double notched conventional rec...

A novel ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) with notched band based on microstrip/slotline ring resonators is presented in this paper. The UWB BPF is fabricated with two microstrip ring resonators on the top copper layer and a slotline ring resonator on the bottom ground layer. Thus, an ultra-wide passband can be achieved owing to the coupling effects and microstrip/slotline transitions ...

A new ultawideband circular fractal antenna with notched-band characteristics is presented. A notched-band characteristic is achieved by employing a U-shape slot in 50 Ω feed lines. The ultra-wideband impedance matching and compact size have been obtained by using CPW-feed technique and the fractal concept. The measured result of proposed fractal antenna exhibits the ultra wideband characterist...

A design and analysis of a novel proximity-fed printed slot antenna with 3.5/5.5 GHz dual band-notched characteristics are presented. To obtain an ultra-wideband (UWB) response, a circular patch with a rectangular conjunction arm is etched concentrically inside a ground plane aperture. The antenna is proximity-fed by a microstrip line with an open shunt stub on the other side of the substrate. ...
