A small-size, flag-shaped microstrip-fed printed UWB antenna with dual notch band (NB) is investigated. The essence of flag configuration is evolved from the regular hexagon where both shapes provide UWB responses. Then, the WiMAX and WLAN notch bands are created by using electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures for avoiding potential interference. A microstrip line-based model is employed to investigate the NB characteristics of EBG. Various parameters, surface current distribution and input impedance are analyzed to understand the effects of the mushroom. The measured operating frequency of the proposed antenna is from 2.91[Formula: see text]GHz to 10.88[Formula: see text]GHz along with excellent rejection bands of 3.2–3.54[Formula: see text]GHz and 5.13–5.6[Formula: see text]GHz, respectively, for [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dB. The experimental result has good correlation with the simulated one. The designed antenna exhibits minimal gain variation, appreciable efficiency, stable radiation patterns, transfer function and the time-domain study results correspond well to [Formula: see text] in the pass band. Therefore, satisfactory results ensure its ability to work as a UWB antenna.

This paper presents the design and realization of a compact ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with a rectangular notch wireless area network (WLAN) band that has controllable notched bandwidth and center frequency. The UWB characteristics of the antenna are achieved by truncating the lower ends of the rectangular microstrip patch, and the notch characteristics are obtained by using electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures. EBGs consist of two rectangular metallic conductors loaded on the back of the radiator, which is connected to the patch by shorting pins. A rectangular notch at the WLAN band with high selectivity is realized by tuning the individual resonant frequencies of the EBGs and merging them. Furthermore, the results show that the bandwidth and frequency of the rectangular notch band could be controlled according to the on-demand rejection band applications. In the demonstration, the rectangular notch band was shifted to X-band satellite communication by tuning the EBG parameters. The simulated and measured results show that the proposed antenna has an operational bandwidth from 3.1–12.5 GHz for |S11| < -10 with a rectangular notch band from 5–6 GHz, thus rejecting WLAN band signals. The antenna also has additional advantages: the overall size of the compact antenna is 16 × 25 × 1.52 mm3 and it has stable gain and radiation patterns.

Triple Band

A new compact ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with triband-notched characteristics is presented. The structure of the proposed antenna is simple and symmetric. A modified ground is introduced to obtain a wide impedance bandwidth of 2.9–13.4 GHz withS11<-10 dB. By inserting two arc-shaped slots in the radiation patch, two sharp bands of 3.3–3.7 GHz and 5.15–5.35 GHz are notched. The notch band of 7.25–7.75 GHz is achieved by etching a U-shaped slot in the ground plane. The notched bands can be controlled, respectively, while the characteristics of the proposed UWB antenna almost keep completely unchanged at the unnotched frequencies. Equivalent circuit models, surface current distributions, and input impedance are applied to analyze the principle of the proposed UWB antenna. Parametric studies are given. Simulated and measured results show that the proposed antenna has good impedance matching, stable radiation patterns, and constant gain.

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.

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.

This research article describes a technique for realizing wideband dual notched functionality in an ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna array based on metamaterial and electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) techniques. For comparison purposes, a reference antenna array was initially designed comprising hexagonal patches that are interconnected to each other. The array was fabricated on standard FR-4 substrate with thickness of 0.8 mm. The reference antenna exhibited an average gain of 1.5 dBi across 5.25–10.1 GHz. To improve the array’s impedance bandwidth for application in UWB systems metamaterial (MTM) characteristics were applied it. This involved embedding hexagonal slots in patch and shorting the patch to the ground-plane with metallic via. This essentially transformed the antenna to a composite right/left-handed structure that behaved like series left-handed capacitance and shunt left-handed inductance. The proposed MTM antenna array now operated over a much wider frequency range (2–12 GHz) with average gain of 5 dBi. Notched band functionality was incorporated in the proposed array to eliminate unwanted interference signals from other wireless communications systems that coexist inside the UWB spectrum. This was achieved by introducing electromagnetic bandgap in the array by etching circular slots on the ground-plane that are aligned underneath each patch and interconnecting microstrip-line in the array. The proposed techniques had no effect on the dimensions of the antenna array (20 mm × 20 mm × 0.87 mm). The results presented confirm dual-band rejection at the wireless local area network (WLAN) band (5.15–5.825 GHz) and X-band satellite downlink communication band (7.10–7.76 GHz). Compared to other dual notched band designs previously published the footprint of the proposed technique is smaller and its rejection notches completely cover the bandwidth of interfering signals.

In this paper, we design a high-order switched capacitor filter for rapid change parameter converter. This design uses a structure which consists of three biquads filter sub-units. The design is a 6th-order SC elliptic low-pass filter, and the sample frequency is 250 kHz. By the MATLAB Simulink simulation, the system can meet the design requirements in the time domain. In this paper, the 6th-order switched capacitor elliptic low-pass filter was implemented under 0.5 um CMOS process and simulated in Cadence. The final simulation results show that the pass-band cutoff frequency is 10 kHz, and the maximum pass-band ripple is about 0.106 dB. The stop-band cutoff frequency is 20 kHz, and the minimum stop-band attenuation is 74.78 dB.

In this paper, very compact (12mm?17mm) and simple UWB antenna is proposed. The achieved bandwidth of the presented antenna is from 3.05 GHz to 12.5 GHz and in the most of the bandwidth, the return loss is less than -20dB. In addition to frequency characteristics, time characteristics such as group delay variations for three different antenna positions, namely, front to front, back to back and side by side using CST MW studio are simulated and discussed. To improve the group delay variations, by changing the radius of the circle on the back side of the antenna, the antenna gain in different frequencies will be tuned, therefore, the time domain characteristics of the proposed antenna are greatly improved.
