Abstract

An ultra wideband (UWB) monopole antenna with dual band-notch characteristic is proposed. Dual arm spiral resonators (DASR) are placed on both sides of the feed line to create band notches at 5.25 and 5.8 GHz for the upper and lower WLAN bands respectively. First the antenna is optimized individually for both upper and lower WLAN band-notch behaviors then embedded together for dual band-notch characteristic. The measured results ensure that two band notches are achieved, and the antenna can be used for UWB applications without any interference from WLAN band.
