In this paper, a miniature ultrawideband (UWB) bandpass filter with dual notch bands and wide upper stopband is presented. The ultrawide passband characteristic is achieved using a microstrip to slot line transition, and a wide upper stop band is realized using an elliptical lowpass filter. The dual band notches at 5.46 GHz and 8.04GHz are obtained by incorporating defected microstrip structure...

A printed monopole ultra wideband (UWB) antenna with frequency band-notched characteristics is proposed and investigated. The antenna consists of a half-disk shaped structure combined with an inverted isosceles trapezoid structure. To achieve the frequency band notched characteristics, an open-ended thin slit with a length of about one quarter guided wavelength is inserted on the radiator. Mult...

This paper presents a single-element microstrip spade-shaped patch antennas with partial ground plane, integrated an electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structure, and fed feedline to achieve wideband, dual-band band-notched characteristic. Two similar mushroom-like EBG structures built into the wideband antenna were used suppress specific band, resulting in dual-band. The wide-band achieved broad b...

A compact ultra-wideband microstrip-fed planar monopole antenna with dual band-notch characteristic is presented. Dual notched frequency bands are achieved by embedding an M-slot in the radiating patch and a W-slot in the ground beneath the feeding line. And the characteristics of the dual band-notched can be controlled by adjusting the length and position of the corresponding slot. Experimenta...

A compact reconfigurable antenna integrated with stepped impedance stub (SIS) loaded stepped impedance resonator (SIR) and SIS loaded hexagon stepped impedance resonator (HSIR) for ultra wideband (UWB) applications is proposed in this paper. The reconfigurable UWB antenna can work as a UWB antenna and a dual notch band UWB antenna by controlling the switches ON and OFF. The proposed two notch b...

A compact CPW-fed ultra-wideband antenna with dual band-notch characteristic is presented. Two notched frequency bands are obtained by embedding two U-shaped slots in the radiation patch and a rectangle slot in the ground plane. The two notched bands can be controlled by adjusting the length of the responding slots. The proposed antenna is successfully simulated, fabricated and tested. Experime...
