Abstract
In this paper, a low-cost compact monopole UWB antenna with variable band notch characteristics is presented. The antenna is complemented on FR4 substrate with the whole size of . And the proposed antenna consists of a radiating patch with two symmetric semiellipse parasitic patches. A U-shaped slot is added to achieve a desired band notch frequency. It is excited by a 50 microstrip-line feed. A partial trapezoid ground plane with two symmetric L-shaped slots and two parasitic patches both can help to obtain higher frequency bandwidth more than 139% (2.8 GHz~15.6 GHz). The substrate with two circular holes can slightly improve the lower frequency characteristic. The simulation of the proposed antenna is achieved by CST Microwave Studio Software.
