Abstract

In this paper, a novel microstrip-fed compact antenna with triple band-notched characteristics is presented for ultrawideband (UWB) applications. The antenna consists of a circular radiating patch, a 50 Ω microstrip feed line, a partially slotted ground plane, and a pair of modified capacitance loaded loop (MCLL) resonators. The novel resonators are symmetrically located in the vicinity of the feed line to achieve triple band-notched characteristics, such as 3.4-3.7 GHz for WiMAX, 5.15-5.825 GHz for WLAN, 7.25-8.395 GHz for X-band satellite communication. The good performance of triple notched bands, stable gain and omnidirectional radiation patterns in the operating bands make the proposed antenna a good candidate for UWB utilization.
