Abstract

In this paper, an ultrawide band (UWB) notch antenna with electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structure for WiMAX and satellite applications is proposed. The proposed design contains an inverted-π model slot and EBG element which create lower and upper notch frequency bands respectively. The designed antenna is fabricated on a Rogers RT/duroid 5880 with the dimensions of 18 mm × 21 mm × 1.6 mm³ which is fed with a 50 Ω transmission line. The proposed antenna has a range frequency from 2 GHz to 12 GHz, in which lower notch covers 3.3-3.7 GHz (WiMAX), and upper notch covers 5.9-6.9 GHz (satellite uplink application). The proposed antenna measured and simulated results are in good correlation. It has good radiation characteristics in the required frequency bands.
