A coplanar waveguide-fed planar hexagonal monopole ultra-wideband antenna with dual-band rejection characteristics is proposed in this paper. The desired notch frequencies at 3.5 and 5.5 GHz are realized by incorporating mushroom structures. The input impedance and surface current distributions are used for analysis and explanation of the effects of mushroom cells. The prototype and proposed antennas are fabricated and tested. From the measured results, the proposed antenna provides an operating band of 2.81–14.32 GHz for 2 ≤ voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), while the dual-band stop function is in the frequency bands of 3.3–3.7 GHz and 5.10–5.88 GHz. Moreover, the antenna model also exhibits constant group delay and linear phase in the pass band. The proposed antenna has appreciable gain and efficiency over the whole operating band except the notch bands.

A coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed circular slot antenna with wide tunable dual band-notched function and frequency reconfigurable characteristic is designed, and its performance is verified experimentally for ultra-wideband (UWB) communication applications. The dual band-notched function is achieved by using a T-shaped stepped impedance resonator (T-SIR) inserted inside the circular ring radiation patch and by etching a parallel stub loaded resonator (PSLR) in the CPW transmission line, while the wide tunable bands can be implemented by adjusting the dimensions of the T-SIR and the PSLR. The notch band reconfigurable characteristic is realized by integrating three switches into the T-SIR and the PSLR. The numerical and experimental results show that the proposed antenna has a wide bandwidth ranging from 2.7 GHz to 12 GHz with voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) less than 2, except for the two notch bands operating at 3.8–5.9 GHz and 7.7–9.2 GHz, respectively. In addition, the proposed antenna has been optimized to a compact size and can provide omnidirectional radiation patterns, which are suitable for UWB communication applications.

In this paper, an ultra-wideband (UWB) planar monopole antenna with impedance bandwidth from 2.83 to 11.56 GHz and dual band-notched characteristics is presented. The antenna consists of a small rectangular ground plane, a bat-shaped radiating patch, anda 50-Ω microstrip line. The notched bands are realized by introducing two different types of structures. The half-wavelength spiral-slots are etched on the radiating patch to obtain a notched band in 5.15 5.925 GHz for WLAN, HIPERLAN, and DSRC systems. Based on the single band-notched UWB antenna, the second notched band is realized by etching a folded stepped impedance resonator as defected ground structure on the ground plane for WiMAX and C-band communication systems. The notched frequencies can be adjusted by altering the length of resonant cells. Surface current distributions and equivalent circuit are used to illustrate the notched mechanism. The performance of this antenna both by simulation and by experiment indicates that the proposed antenna is suitable and a good candidate for UWB applications.

Abstract A compact tunable notch band ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna is implemented. The band notch characteristics have been obtained by placing a square-shaped metallic loop in the upper ground plane connected via PIN diode. The obtained notched frequency bandwidth can be altered by changing the states of the PIN diode. UWB response with narrow-band notch operation is observed when PIN diode is in ON state. When the PIN diode is in OFF state, the bandwidth of the obtained band notch widens by suppressing the first higher-order resonance and thus a narrow dual-band response is obtained. Moreover, the ratio of the frequency of first higher-order to the fundamental mode in the pass-band can be tuned with the different values as 1.584 and 2.20 in the ON and OFF state of the PIN diode, respectively. Furthermore, the antenna structure offers a compact geometry for the operation with the UWB response with band notch characteristics.

The base of the proposed antenna is its Hybrid structure, which generates fundamental TM, TE and higher order modes that yields an impedance bandwidth of 119%. Proposed antenna provides a frequency range from 4.2 to 16.6 GHz with a stable radiation pattern and low cross polarization levels. Peak gain of 5.5 dB and average efficiency of 90% is obtained by the design. Antenna is elongated on a FR4 substrate of dimension 20 x 24x 2.168 mm3 and is particularly suitable for C band INSAT, Radio Altimeter, WLAN, Wi-Fi for high frequencies. Ease in fabrication due to simplicity, compactness, stable radiation pattern throughout the entire bandwidth are the key features of the presented design. Inclusion of Defective ground structure and asymmetric ring not only increases the bandwidth but also stabilize the gain and efficiency due to less surface current. Presented design launch an Ultra Wide Band antenna with sufficient band rejection at 4.48-5.34 and 5.64-8.33 GHz with stable radiation pattern and high gain.

This paper presents an ultra-wideband tapered slot patch antenna with bi-directional radiation, reconfigurable for dual band-notched capability and fed by coplanar waveguide. The proposed antenna showed excellent ultra-wideband characteristics with bandwidth of (1.9–12 GHz). In order to reduce the interference of the narrow band communications represented by Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access radiation in the range (3.4–3.9) GHz and standard IEEE 802.11a. application (from 5.1 GHz to 6.1 GHz), the antenna was accompanied with adjustable dual-stop band capability in these bands. The dual-band notches are achieved with aid of inserting a parasitic single split ring resonator and etching a single circular complementary circle split ring resonator. The proposed antenna used epoxy (FR4) substrate material with ????r= 4.4 and dimensions of .

AbstractA compact ultra-wideband (UWB) monopole antenna with reconfigurable band-notch characteristics is demonstrated in this paper. It is comprised of a modified rectangular patch and a defected ground plane. The band-notch property in the WiMAX and WLAN bands is achieved by etching an open-ended slot on the radiating patch and an inverted U-shaped slot on the ground plane, respectively. To obtain the reconfigurable band-notch performance, two PIN diodes are inserted in the slots, and then the notch-band can be switched by changing the states of the PIN diodes. The antenna has a compact size of 0.47 λ1 × 0.27 λ1. The simulated and measured results indicate that the antenna can operate at a UWB mode, two single band-notch modes, and a dual band-notch mode. Moreover, stable radiation patterns are obtained.

AbstractA CPW-fed 8-shaped monopole antenna for ultra wideband applications is presented. It consists of a 8-shaped monopole and two quarter elliptical coplanar waveguide ground planes. An impedance bandwidth from 5.4 GHz to 23.83 GHz is achieved. The radiation patterns are observed to be omnidirectional and bidirectional in E-and H-plane respectively at lower resonances. At higher frequencies, the radiation patterns are found to be nearly omnidirectional in both planes. The group delay variation is also observed to be constant in the operating frequency range. A good agreement is found between the simulation and experimental results. The designed antenna structure has miniaturized dimensions and wider bandwidth as compared to other already reported monopole structures.

A coplanar waveguide- (CPW-) fed dual-band-notched antenna with sharp skirt selectivity for ultrawideband (UWB) applications is presented. The proposed antenna is composed of a radiant patch with a C-shaped slot and a C-shaped stub on the back surface of the substrate. By using the C-shaped slot and the C-shaped stub, dual-band-notched characteristics can be generated. In this way, a more practical and effective approach to design an UWB antenna with sharp notched-band-edge selectivity is developed. The measurement results show dual notched bands of 4.96–5.42 GHz and 5.71–5.91 GHz, which can reject the interference between IEEE 802.11a bands (5.15–5.35 GHz and 5.725–5.825 GHz) and UWB systems. The fabricated antenna shows good omnidirectional radiation patterns with acceptable gain and group delay.

An ultra-wideband (UWB) band-stop filter (BSF) has been designed with flat responses at a selected frequency by cascading the unit electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures in this paper. The BSFs fabricated by the surface micromachining process have immense potential to compactness and low cost. The BSFs are constructed with comb-like EBG structures on a coplanar-waveguide (CPW) and have been investigated numerically. The simulation result of the BSF is demonstrated to have a good performance on its work band. It reveals a 20 dB stopband with a bandwidth of 6.8GHz. The pass-band insertion loss is less than 1.7dB.

This paper presents a new design of a super compact Ultra wideband (UWB) band-pass filter (BPF) with rejection of X-band satellite applications. For covering the UWB bandpass, the proposed filter is realized using hybrid technique which is achieved by using a Microstrip-Coplanar waveguide-Microstrip transition. The basic structure consists of a modified microstrip in the top layer and CPW in the bottom layer. Later, open-circuited stubs are embedded in the top to implement in-band transmission zeros (TZ) so as to circumvent interference. The simulated results show that the UWB bandpass filter has a high adaptation (S11 ≤ −18 dB) and insertion loss better than 0.4 dB at the passband. The impedance bandwidths are about 114% (3–11 GHz) with upper stopband extends to more than 14 GHz with a depth of greater than 38 dB. In addition, the UWB BPF shows a flat group delay performance with a variation of about 0.15 ns over the entire bandwidth. A prototype of the filter is fabricated and tested. Good agreement is achieved between measurement and simulation. The proposed UWB BPF is compact in size with overall dimensions of 14 by 9.2 mm2. Consequently, the obtained results prove that the presented filter is suitable for UWB wireless devices.
