Abstract
An ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with dual band-notched characteristics
is proposed in this letter. The fabricated prototype of the proposed
antenna has a compact size of 30×24mm which operates at 3GHz to 11GHz
and attained dual notch-bands at 3.3-3.7GHz and 5.15-5.825GHz. The
result shows that the proposed antenna is compact, easy to fabricate and
provides good characteristics in radiation patterns and time-domain
behaviors. The simulated and measured results displayed good agreement
over the entire operating frequency band. The proposed antenna can be
used for wideband frequency requirement systems like indoor positioning.
