Abstract
In this paper, a novel planar monopole ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with quad notched bands is investigated. The proposed antenna is composed of a circular-shaped radiating element, a 50 Ω microstrip feed line, a quad-mode stepped impedance resonator (SIR), and a partially truncated ground plane. By coupling a quad-mode SIR with an additional outer line beside the microstrip feedline, band-rejected filtering properties around C-band (5.2/5.8 GHz) WLAN bands, and X-band (8.5/10.5 GHz) satellite communication bands are generated. The measurement of voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) is in agreement with simulation. The results show that the proposed antenna not only retains an ultrawide bandwidth but also owns quad band-rejections capability. The UWB antenna demonstrates omnidirectional radiation patterns across nearly the whole operating bandwidth that is suitable for UWB applications.
