Abstract

In this paper, a quad-band notch characteristics ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna for Wi-MAX, L-WLAN, U-WLAN, and C-band applications is presented. The initial UWB antenna bandwidth is achieved in the 2 to 12.5 GHz frequency band by using the partial ground method. Spiral lossy resonator (SLR) slots are loaded into the UWB ground structure to achieve quad-band notch characteristics. Each SLRS circuit is accountable for a single notch characteristic by losing EM power at the notch frequency. A quad-band notch is accomplished in this antenna for WiMAX (3.24 to 3.56 GHz), L-WLAN (4.76 to 5.34 GHz), U-WLAN (5.58 to 5.91 GHz), and C-band (7.37 to 7.71 GHz) by loading four SLR slots circuits into the UWB antenna. The proposed antenna is engraved on a Rogers RO4003C (3.55) substrate having an overall volume of 50*40*1.524 mm³. The proposed antenna's performance has been verified through simulation and experiments.
