Abstract
A novel compact wide-slot ultrawideband (UWB) antenna with dual band-notched characteristics is presented. The antenna consists of an inverted U-shaped slot on the ground plane and a radiation patch similar to the slot that is fed by a 50-Ω microstrip line. By etching a C-shaped slot on the radiation patch and extruding an L-shaped stub from the ground plane, dual band-notched properties in the WiMAX (3.4-3.69 GHz) and WLAN (5.15-5.825 GHz) are achieved. The proposed antenna has a compact size of 20×27 mm2 and operates from 2.89 to 11.52 GHz. Furthermore, nearly omnidirectional radiation patterns and constant gain are obtained in the working band.
