Abstract

By etching a half-wavelength hook-shaped slot on the ground and adding quarter-wavelength rectangle-shaped strips in the patch, a novel triple band-notched ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna is proposed. The triple band-notches are used to prevent interferences from existing bands at 3.3-3.9 GHz, 5.15-5.35 GHz, and 5.725-5.825 GHz. Fed by coplanar waveguide, the antenna is printed on a 30*30 mm² substrate. The parameters affecting antenna performance are simulated and analyzed. The simulated and measured results show that the proposed antenna achieves a wide bandwidth from 3 GHz to 11 GHz with triple band-notches. Radiation patterns and gain are also investigated and analyzed.
