Abstract

In this paper, a novel circular slot UWB antenna with dual notched frequency band is presented and investigated. A C-shaped slot is inserted into the fed element, and a parasitic strip is printed in the circular slot, so that the proposed antenna achieves dual band-notched characteristics, respectively. The measured and simulated results show that the proposed antenna meets the requirement of wide working bandwidth of 3.1-10.6 GHz with VSWR < 2, while avoiding the interference with the 3.5 GHz WiMAX and 5.5 GHz WLAN band. Study of transfer function (amplitude of S₂₁/group delay) and time domain characteristic (radiated pulses/power spectrum density (PSD)) correspond well with the VSWR, which indicate the dual band notched characteristic of the antenna.
