Abstract

An ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with band-notch characteristic of size 32mmtimes28.1 mm is proposed. This antenna is designed to cover the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) bandwidth for UWB applications (3.1-10.6 GHz) and have a notch filtering at the IEEE 802.11a frequency band (5.15-5.825 GHz). This notch-filter effect is obtained by introducing a resonant L-shaped slot at this frequency. The design parameters and the performance of the proposed antenna are analyzed by using high frequency structured simulator HFSS.
