Abstract EN

A low-cost coplanar waveguide fed compact ultrawideband (UWB) antenna with band rejection characteristics for wireless local area network (WLAN) is proposed.

The notch band characteristic is achieved by etching half wavelength C-shaped annular ring slot in the radiating patch.

By properly choosing the radius and position of the slot, the notch band can be adjusted and controlled.

With an overall size of 18.7 mm × 17.6 mm, the antenna turns out to be one of the smallest UWB antennas with band-notched characteristics.

It has a wide fractional bandwidth of 130% (2.9–13.7 GHz) with VSWR < 2 and rejecting IEEE 802.11a and HIPERLAN/2 frequency band of 5.1–5.9 GHz.

Stable omnidirectional radiation patterns in the H plane with an average gain of 4.4 dBi are obtained.

The band-notch mechanism of the proposed antenna is examined by HFSS simulator.

A good agreement is found between measured and simulated results indicating that the proposed antenna is well suited for integration into portable devices for UWB applications.
