Inherently UWB (Ultra Wideband) communication systems comes with interference problem with some if the existing narrowband communication systems. These bands are stopped with the help of band-stop filter in order to reduce electromagnetic interference However, the complexity and limitations are increased due to these filters, hence this solution is turned down in those applications where design complications and complexity is of concern. Introducing various slots of specific shapes and exact dimensions however, have solved this issue for the researchers around the world. This paper presents a hexagonal PMA (Printed Monopole Antenna) with triple stop bands. The antenna is used for UWB application. The antenna is stopped the WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access), WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) and ITU (International Telecommunication Union) bands. The antenna dimensions are 30x28x16 mm3. FR4 is used between ground and radiating patch with relative permittivity of 4.4. The VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) is less than 2 between 3-11 GHz except WiMAX (3.1-3.7 GHz), WLAN (5.1-5.8 GHz) and the ITU frequency band (7.95-8.4 GHz). The antenna is design in CST software.

This paper presents a novel compact printed monopole ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna featured with the band notch. The proposed antenna consists of a two-step beveled radiant patch and a truncated ground plane, which can provide a good impedance matching from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz. In order to generate the band-notched characteristics, two symmetrical slots are embedded along with the microstrip feeding line, resulting in a band notch from 5.05 GHz to 5.85 GHz. Accordingly, the mutual electromagnetic interference between the UWB and wireless local area network (WLAN) radio communication systems can be eliminated. In addition, it is shown how the slots integrated on the ground plane improve the radiation patterns. The experimental measurements are found to be in good agreement with the numerical simulations.

A triple band-notched ultra-wideband (UWB) monopole antenna using a planar electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) design is proposed. The EBG unit cell composed by an Archimedean spiral and inter-digital capacitance demonstrates the notch frequencies. The antenna with EBG cells near the feed line occupies only 30 × 36 mm2 with triple band-rejection characteristics. The three notched bands at 4.2 GHz, 5.2 GHz, and 9.1 GHz can be used in C-band satellite downlink, wireless local area network (WLAN), and X-band radio location for naval radar or military required applications. In addition, the proposed design is flexible to tune different notched bands by altering the EBG dimensions. The parametric analysis is studied in details after placing the EBG unit cells near the feed line to show the coupling effect. The input impedance and surface current distribution analysis are also analyzed to understand the effect of EBG at notch frequencies. The proposed design prototype is fabricated and characterized. A fairly considerable agreement is observed between simulated and measured results.

This paper presents the design, testing, and analysis of a clover structured monopole antenna for super wideband applications. The proposed antenna has a wide impedance bandwidth (−10 dB bandwidth) from 1.9 GHz to frequency over 30 GHz. The clover shaped antenna with a compact size of 50 mm × 45 mm is designed and fabricated on an FR4 substrate with a thickness of 1.6 mm. Parametric study has been performed by varying the parameters of the clover to obtain an optimum wide band characteristics. Furthermore, the prototype introduces a method of achieving super wide bandwidth by deploying fusion of elliptical patch geometries (clover shaped) with a semi elliptical ground plane, loaded with a V-cut at the ground. The proposed antenna has a 14 dB bandwidth from 5.9 to 13.1 GHz, which is suitable for ultra wideband (UWB) outdoor propagation. The prototype is experimentally validated for frequencies within and greater than UWB. Transfer function, impulse response, and group delay has been plotted in order to address the time domain characteristics of the proposed antenna with fidelity factor values. The possible applications cover wireless local area network, C-band, Ku-band, K-band operations, Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, and Wireless USB.

AbstractA low profile super-wideband polarization diversity printed monopole antenna with dual band-notched characteristics is presented the first time. The designed antenna comprises two arched shaped radiating elements with two triangular tapered microstrip feed lines (TTMFL) and two arched shaped partial ground planes, which covers an enormously wide impedance bandwidth (BW) from 1.2 to 25 GHz (ratio BW of 20.8:3) for reflection coefficient |S11| < −10 dB. To ensure the high port isolation (better than − 30 dB) between two feeding ports over the whole bands, two analogous antennas have been kept perpendicular to each other at a distance of 1 mm. In addition, the dual band-notched performance in wireless local area network (5–6 GHz) and X-band (7.2–8.5 GHz) is generated by employing a pair of open-circuited stubs (L-shaped stub and horizontal stub) to the TTMFL. Envelop correlation coefficient has been computed to study the polarization diversity performance. Finally, the proposed antenna was fabricated and tested successfully. Measured results indicate that the proposed antenna is an appropriate candidate for the polarization diversity applications. The proposed antenna has a compact size of 40 × 70 × 0.787 mm3, high isolation, and occupies a small space compared with the existing antennas.

Development and investigation of a miniaturized ultra-wideband band notch antenna is demonstrated in this paper. The antenna was modeled and simulated using Computer Simulation Technology (CST)TM Microwave Studio software. The simulated results of this antenna are presented and analyzed. The performance parameters such as return loss, gain, radiation efficiency, radiation patterns are simulation-based results provided here.

Results and analysis show that the antenna meets the objective and shows very good results. It has very compact size as well which is attractive feature of this antenna that will make it suitable for ultra-wideband wireless communication systems.
