In this article, we present a new design of a coplanar waveguide fed (CPW-fed) ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with dual band-notched characteristics. Two notched frequency bands are achieved by using two inverted U-shaped stepped impedance resonators. The proposed antenna can operate from 2.82 to 11 GHz (118%), defined by VSWR< 2, except two notched bands around 3.5 GHz (WiMAX) and 5.5 GHz (WLAN)...

A method is presented which is aimed at increasing bandwidth of the tapered slot antenna by just finding the optimum tapering profile of the antenna without the need to increase its size rather than decrease. In this paper, an ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with a compact size of 16 mm x 20 mm is proposed for USB dongle applications. Theproposed antenna has been designed on FR4 substrate dielectr...

A novel modified printed monopole antenna with variable frequency band-notch characteristic for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications is presented. The proposed antenna consists of a truncated ground plane and a radiating patch with two tapered steps. To generate a notch band at 5–6GHz with good level of band-notch a new T-shaped parasitic element placed on the back layer of the substrate along wit...

A compact planar monopole antenna suitable for wireless personal area network (WPAN) application is proposed. By simply modifying the periphery of a rectangular patch, effective operational band 2.95 to 16.8 GHz is achieved. This band sufficiently covers the operating band, 3.1–10.6 GHz, of the new wireless personal area network (WPAN) using ultra wide band (UWB) technique. A prototype of the p...

In this paper, a novel dual notch bands Ultra Wide-Band (UWB) antenna for WLAN and WiMAX applications is presented. The antenna contains a taper rectangular monopole antenna with new feed line which is designed and modified for 2–12 GHz. To achieve notch band at WLAN frequencies, different methods are compared such as L-shape slots for one notch or dual rings in notch designing. On the other ha...

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...

The UWB (ultra wide band) radar output signals can be substantially affected due to electromagnetic wave propagation through obstacles (such as walls) and multipath effects, too. Multipath effects are analyzed and simulated numerically for various cases with several antenna heights and distances. Delays (due to propagation through walls and various paths of direct and reflected rays) and the ri...

In this article, a novel and compact ultra-wideband (UWB) planar antenna is presented. This antenna consists of an annular patch and a 50 microstrip feed line. The 3.5/5.5GHz dual band-notched characteristic gets achieved by etching a C-shaped slot in the patch and complimentary split ring resonator (CSRR) structure in the ground. The measured results show that the proposed antenna can achieve ...

This paper presents the design of compact CPW-fed band notched UWB square ring antenna. The main objective of this proposed research work is to reduce the size of antenna and avoid interference between UWB and WLAN application at 5.5GHz. The antenna consists of a square-ring metal patch and 50Ω coplanar waveguide fed. The structure of the antenna is miniaturized by optimizing its square ring pr...
