Abstract
A novel annular monopole antenna with a dual-band rejection characteristic for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications is proposed.This antenna comprises an annular-shape radiating element with a tuning stub and a backside elliptical radiating element that is connected to it by a shorting pin, to create dual-notched bands at 3.2–4.4 GHz and 4.8–5.9 GHz across the UWB frequency band from 2.5 to 14.5 GHz, to filter the WIMAX and WLAN signals. Measurements demonstrate that the proposed antenna provides a very large bandwidth from 2.5 to 14.5 GHz (141%, voltage standing wave ratio 2). A good monopole-like radiation pattern except the notched bands is obtained. Details of the proposed antenna design and the simulated results are presented and discussed. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
