This paper presents a novel circular fractal ring monopole antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) hardware with dual band-notched properties. The proposed antenna consists of four crescent-shaped nested rings, a tapered feeding line at the front of the dielectric material, and a semicircular ground plane on the backside. In this design, the nested rings are used both as a radiation element and a band rejection element. The proposed antenna has a bandwidth of 9.03 GHz, which works efficiently in the range of 2.63 GHz-11.66 GHz with the dual notched bands of Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) at 3.15 GHz-3.66 GHz and wireless local area network (WLAN) at 4.9 GHz-5.9 GHz, respectively. The antenna has a compact size of 20 mm × 30 mm × 1 mm (0.177 × 0.265 × 0.0084 λ0) and is implemented using a flame-retardant type 4 (FR4) material. It has a maximum gain of approximately 4 dB in its operating range, and experimental results support the simulation predictions with high accuracy. The findings of this study imply that the designed antenna can be utilized in UWB applications.

A compact planar microstrip-fed ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with a dual band-notched for UWB application is presented and analyzed. By inserting a U-shaped slot and inverted U-shaped slot into the pot-shaped radiator, two notched bands are achieved. By optimizing the width and length of the U-shaped slots and inverted U-shaped slot, a desired bandwidth of voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) less than 2.0 can be achieved, ranging from UWB bands with notched dual bands. The proposed antenna is fabricated on an inexpensive FR-4 substrate with overall dimensions of $28.0mm{\times}39.5mm$. The measured results confirm that the proposed antenna covers from 1.775 to over 13.075 GHz with two rejection bands of around 3.325-3.925 GHz and 5.3125-6.025 GHz. In addition, the proposed antenna showed good radiation characteristics and gains in the UWB bands.

We propose a slot antenna consisting of a rectangular slot on the ground plane, fed by a microstrip line with a rectangular-ring-shaped tuning stub that can be deployed in ultra-wideband (UWB) communication systems to avoid interference with wireless local area network (WLAN) communication. Our antenna can achieve a single band-notched property from the 5 GHz frequency to the 6 GHz frequency owing to a controllable band notch that uses L- and J-shaped parasitic elements. The antenna characteristics can be modified to tune the band-notched property (4 GHz to 5 GHz or 6 GHz to 7 GHz) and the bandwidth of the band notch (1 GHz to 2 GHz). Furthermore, the shifted notch with enhanced width of the band notch from 1 GHz to 1.5 GHz is described in this paper. The UWB slot antenna and L- and J-shaped parasitic elements also provide the band-rejection function for reference in the WiMAX (3.5 GHz) and WLAN (5 GHz to 6 GHz) regions of the spectrum. Experiment results evidence the return loss performance, radiation patterns, and antenna gains at different operational frequencies.

본 논문에서는 이중 대역 저지 기능을 갖는 평판형 모노폴 UWB 안테나를 제안하였다. 제안된 안테나의 대역 저지 특성은 패치 상의 1차와 3차의 힐버트 곡선 슬롯들에 의하여 구현되었다. 각 힐버트 곡선 슬롯의 크기를 조절함으로써, 3.3에서 3.7 GHz 그리고 5.3에서 6 GHz에 걸친 저지 대역을 쉽게 구현할 수 있었다. 제작된 안테나의 VSWR과 방사 패턴을 측정하였으며, 이 결과로부터 설계된 안테나가 UWB 통신에서 사용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

In order to avoid the interference from existing narrowband communication systems, this paper proposes a compact band-notched UWB (ultra wideband) antenna with size of $12mm{\times}22mm{\times}1.6mm$. Transmission line model is applied to analyzing wide impedance matching characteristic of the modified base antenna, which has a gradual stepped impedance feeder structure. The proposed antenna realizes dual band-notched function by combining two biased T-shaped parasitic elements on the rear side with a window aperture on the radiation patch. The simulation current distributions of the antenna reflect resonant suppression validity of the two methods. In addition, the measured radiation characteristics demonstrate the proposed antenna prevents signal interference from WLAN (5.15-5.825GHz) and WiMAX (3.4-3.69GHz) effectively, and the measured patterns show the antenna omnidirectional radiation in working frequencies.

This paper presents a novel ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna that rejects narrow and broad bands and is suitable for wireless communications. The base of the proposed antenna has a circular patch that can cover the UWB frequency range (3.1~10.6 GHz). The interference issues caused by co-existence within the UWB operation frequency are overcome by a design that uses a parallel-coupled asymmetric dual-line with a circular monopole antenna. The proposed antenna showed a stable radiation pattern, realized gain and reflection coefficient lower than -10 dB across the UWB operation bandwidth except for 5.15~5.85 GHz and 7.25~8.4 GHz. The fabrication, simulation, and measurement results obtained for the proposed antenna were in good agreement with the expected values.
