The main objective is to design a dual band rejection micro strip patch antenna. In this antenna, H-shaped slots are made in the patch to achieve notched characteristics at two licensed band employed for Wimax and WLAN band. The above mentioned frequency ranges are licensed for WLAN and satellite communication applications. These antennas maintain the Omni-directional radiation patterns and are mostly suited for ultra wide band applications. For wide band operation, the shape of patch has been altered to octagonal just by chamfering the corners of the rectangular patch. The antenna parameters like radiation patterns, VSWR, reflection loss have been described clearly in this section. Radar applications, terrestrial networking and communication, space communications are some of the applications in this ultra wide band frequency range.

This paper presents a novel, compact Ultra Wide Band , Asymmetric Ring Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna (ARRDRA), which is a unique combination of Thin Dielectric Resonator (DR), Fork shape patch and defective ground structure. 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 article deals with the various designs of a novel compact microstrip fed UWB antenna to investigate the corresponding return losses of different structures. The dimension of the designed antenna is 33 x 19 x 1.9 mm3 with FR4 substrate and it can be operated from 2.846 - 11.7458 GHz. The effects of varying the structure of antenna are to exhibit the investigation of corresponding return losses. Different structures of antenna are simulated in Ansoft HFSS simulator. The results of return losses and radiation patterns are explored with the ultra wide band (UWB) rectangular Stair slot antenna. The modified structure of antenna shows the minimized return loss with an enhanced bandwidth that satisfies good UWB characteristics. Antenna performance can also be explored from the radiation behavior of the antenna which is relatively omni-directional pattern for rectangular Stair slot antenna

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.

A Compact dual slot ultra-wide band (UWB) Antenna for WLAN and X-Band applications is proposed. The projected antenna is designed for the planar ultra-wide band (UWB) antenna and ultra-wide band (UWB) with two band dismissals. The proposed antenna overall size is 30x40x1.6. The antenna comprises of Rectangular patch imprinted on the Flame Resistant (FR4) substrate with 50Ω input impedance. FR-4 is a composite material made out of fiberglass fabric woven with an epoxy pitch cover that is fire safe (self-dousing). "FR" implies fire resistant, and means that the material meets the standard. This patch consists of dual slot one for WLAN and one for X-band Satellite Communication System. The antenna intended with return loss (RL) >= 10db and frequency ranges between 3.1 to 10.6 GHz with VSWR<2. The antenna works for the applications of wireless local area network (WLAN) system (5.15 – 5.825 GHz), X-band downlink (7.25 - 7.75). The ultra-wide band frequency range for these wireless systems causes interference. To reduce the interference, band notching is done. The WLAN and X-Band satellite communication system bands are forbidden by inserting slots in the patch. The proposed antenna is having high gain at the pass bands while a sharp drop at the forbidden bands.  


A compact and robust ultra-wide-band SIW antenna technology is presented. The proposed antenna applies for 42 - 54 GHz applications such as 5 G and future WLAN. The SIW is designed with specific slot configurations. The simulated results show that the SIW antenna resonates throughout the bands of 42 to 54 GHz, making this new antenna cover all applications within this range. The reflection coefficients in all ranges from 42 to 45 GHz are below 10 dB. The antenna achieves good efficiency and gain as well.

The proposed antenna is designed for the planar ultra wide band (UWB) antenna and ultra wide band (UWB) antenna having two band rejections. The proposed antenna overall size is 30mm x 40mm x 1.6mm. The antenna consists of a rectangular patch on the top of FR4 substrate with 50ohm feed with defected ground structure. This patch consists of one round cut at each corner having radius 1.575mm. The simulated band width with return loss (RL) >=10db is 3.1 to 11.2 GHz with VSWR<2. It works for the applications of WiMAX system at 3.5GHz (3.3 – 3.7 GHz), C-band satellite communication (3.7 - 4.2 GHz), wireless local area network (WLAN) system at 5GHz (5.15 – 5.825 GHz), X-band satellite communication system (7.25 - 7.75 GHz). The ultra wide band frequency range for these wireless systems causes interference. To diminish obstruction, the band rejection is made. WiMAX and WLAN groups are dismissed by designing slots on the patch. This antenna has an incredible pick up in the Gain while a sharp drop in the rejected groups.

The lower band and mid band ‘5G’ are known to use the frequencies in the range of 600 MHz – 6 GHz worldwide, especially 3.5GHz to 4.2GHz. A new modified multi slot compact planar ultra-wideband Microstrip patch antenna with a split ground plane has been proposed in this paper. The size of the antenna occupies volume of 34x30x1.7 (1734 mm^3) which has been designed on a FR4 epoxy substrate with dielectric constant of 4.4. In order to provide dual wideband characteristics, a ‘T and G ’shaped slots with split ground plane using line feeding structure has been used. The effects on the return losses v/s frequency for the antenna using different substrates with varying dielectric constants for the same dimensions has been studied in this paper. The proposed antenna operates in dual band with first band being a narrow band ranging from 1.92GHz to 2.06GHz and the second band is an ultra-wide band which ranges from 3.40 GHz to 9.6 GHz. The split ground plane and slot size variations in the T and G slot geometry helps in retrieving the dual bands. The proposed antenna is covering applications from LTE band No 40, UMTS IMT-2000, Wimax (3.5/5.55GHz), ISM WLAN 5.2/5.8GHz and RFID etc. The direct line feeding method which uses a 50Ω line with width of W=3mm has been used for the micro-strip line. With split ground plane, coupling between the slots plays role for achieving the good bandwidth. The analysis of return loss (dB), bandwidth, VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) of patch antenna with different substrates and variation of the sizes of slots in shapes has been performed using HFSS tool [12] and results has been studied in this paper.
