<span lang="EN-US">A compact design of ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with dual band-notched characteristics based on split-ring resonators (SRR) are investigated in this paper. The wider impedance bandwidth (from 2.73 to 11.34 GHz) is obtained by using two symmetrical slits in the radiating patch and another slit in the partial ground plane. The dual band-notch rejection at WLAN and X-band downlink satellite communication system are obtained by inserting a modified U-strip on the radiating patch at 5.5 GHz and embedding a pair of rectangular SRRs on both sides of the microstrip feed line at 7.5 GHz, respectively. The proposed antenna is simulated and tested using CST MWS high frequency simulator and exhibits the advantages of compact size, simple design and each notched frequency band can be controlled independently by using the SRR geometrical parameters. Therefore, the parametric study is carried out to understand the mutual coupling between the dual band-notched elements. To validate simulation results of our design, a prototype is fabricated and good agreement is achieved between measurement and simulation. Furthermore, a radiation patterns, satisfactory gain, current distribution and VSWR result at the notched frequencies make the proposed antenna a suitable candidate for practical UWB applications.</span>

Antenna Structure

In this article, a dual-band notched ultra-wideband (UWB) dielectric resonator antenna is proposed. The antenna structure consists of Crescent Moon Dielectric Resonator (CMDR) fed by a stepped microstrip monopole printed antenna, partial ground plane, and an I-shaped stub. The Crescent Moon dielectric resonator is placed on the microstrip monopole printed antenna to achieve wide impedance bandwidth, and the I-shaped stub is utilized to improve impedance bandwidth for the WiMAX band. A comprehensive parametric study is carried out using HFSS software to achieve the optimum antenna performance and optimize the bandwidth of the proposed antenna. The entire band is useful with two filtered bands at 5.5 GHz and 6.8 GHz by the creation of notches. The band’s rejection, WLAN band (5.2–5.7 GHz), and the downlink frequency band of ITU 7 GHz-band for satellite communication (6.5–7.3 GHz) is realized by inserting G-shaped and C-shaped slots in the ground. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed CMDR antenna achieves satisfactory UWB performance, with an impedance bandwidth of around 88.7%, covers the frequency band of 3.2 - 8.3 GHz, excluding a rejection band for the WLAN and ITU 7 GHz band. The CMDR is simulated using HFSS and CST high-frequency simulators.

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-sized planar super-wideband (SWB) monopole antenna with four notched bands is presented in this paper. The antenna consists of a rectangular ground plane and a circular radiator that is fed by a tapered microstrip feed line. The overall size of the antenna is 18 mm × 12 mm × 0.5 mm, and its impedance bandwidth (S11 ≤ −10 dB) ranges from 2.5 GHz to 40 GHz (bandwidth ratio of 16:1). Four notched bands are obtained using two inverted U-shaped slots, a split-ring resonator (SRR), and a meandered slot. The notched frequency bands can be adjustable by changing the parameters of parasitic slot elements, and the realized notched bands in this paper are Wi-MAX band (3.5 GHz), WLAN band (5.5 GHz), satellite communication X-band (7.5 GHz), and amateur radio band (10.5 GHz). The simulated and experimental results show good agreement with each other. The antenna possesses a high gain, super-wide impedance bandwidth, and omni-directional radiation patterns.

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.

A novel configuration of a printed monopole antenna with a very compact size for satisfying WLAN operations at the 5.2/5.8 GHz and also for X-band operations at the 10 GHz has been proposed. The antenna includes a simple square-shaped patch as the radiator, the rotated U-shaped conductor back plane element with embedded strip on it, and the partial rectangular ground surface. By using the rotated U-shaped conductor-backed plane with proper values, good impedance matching and improvement in bandwidth can be achieved, at the lower and upper bands. The impedance bandwidth forS11<-10 dB is about 1.15 GHz for 5 GHz band and 5.3 GHz for X-band. The measured peak gains are about 1.9 dBi at WLAN-band and 4.2 dBi at X-band. The experimental results represent that the realized antenna with good omnidirectional radiation characteristics, enough impedance bandwidth, and reasonable gains can be appropriate for various applications of the future developed technologies and handheld devices.

AbstractFrequency- and time-domain characteristics as well as indoor propagation channel impulse response of a compact dual band-notched ultra-wideband (UWB) slot antenna are investigated in this paper. The antenna consists of a narrow rectangular radiation patch and a rectangular wide slot in the modified ground plane. A pair of L-shaped stubs are connected to the radiation patch to obtain band-notched property in WLAN band and a narrow straight stub is placed on the back side of the substrate to create band-notched characteristics in X-band downlink satellite communication system. Moreover, two small parasitic strips are added to the radiation patch to enhance the bandwidth (BW) of the antenna up to 14 GHz. A comprehensive study on time-domain and indoor propagation channel characteristics of the proposed antenna is also presented throughout the paper. A ray-tracing approach based on geometrical optics is applied to analyze the indoor channel characteristics. The designed antenna not only has a wide BW and compact size but also has appropriate radiation and time-domain characteristics over the antenna operating BW. The measured and simulated results are in good agreement. These advantages make the proposed antenna as a desirable option for UWB impulse radio applications.

AbstractA novel compact ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) with a quad band-notched function using S-SCRLHs (splitted simplified composite right/left-handed) resonator is presented. The S-SCRLHs resonator, which exhibits quadruple resonance, is realized by coupling double S-SCRLH resonator. The S-SCRLHs resonator is integrated into a conventional UWB BPF. The notched frequencies can be adjusted according to specification by altering the S-SCRLHs resonator. Band-rejected filtering properties around the C-band satellite communication band, 5.2 GHz WLAN band and the X-band satellite communication band are generated. The notching frequencies are located at 4.2/5.2/6.3/7.8 GHz. Both simulated and measured results are provided with good agreement. Compared with other BPFs, the proposed BPF has the advantages of compact size, multi-stopband and good selectivity.
