Abstract

To meet the anti-interference and multi-function requirements of the antenna, a compact 8-states frequency reconfigurable ultra-wideband (UWB) monopole antenna is proposed. The antenna consists of a coplanar waveguide structure (CPW), defected ground structure (DGS), rectangular radiation patch, and stepped feed line. Band rejections at the C band, WLAN, and X band are generated by two C-slots and inverted U-slot, respectively. Three PIN diodes are connected across the C-slots and inverted U-slot. By controlling the on/off state of PIN diodes to realize notch reconfiguration. The antenna size is only 22 mm $\times 13$ mm $\times0.8$ mm. The measured results show that the antenna can work in 8 states. The impedance bandwidth of UWB mode is 2.82-13.25 GHz, the relative bandwidth is 129.8%. The notch band is 3.19-4.58 GHz, 5.26-6.21 GHz, and 7.87-8.73 GHz, respectively. The antenna has stable gain, good omnidirectional radiation performance, and can switch freely between UWB mode and each notch band mode.
