Abstract
A novel modified printed ultra-wideband (UWB) slot antenna with a square structure and a trapezoid tuning stub as well as a band-notch characteristic is presented. By embedding two L-shaped slits at the edge of the open radiating slot, a tunable notched band, for avoiding interference between the UWB and WLAN systems, is achieved. Moreover, by optimising the dimensions of the polygon-like slot and tuning stub, the impedance bandwidth and matching of the antenna can be improved. The realised slot antenna operates over 2.6-13.6 GHz for VSWR < 2 and has a rejected band of 4.9-5.85 GHz.
