Abstract :
In this paper, a compact ultra-wideband (UWB) planar monopole antenna with a switchable band-notched behaviour is proposed. The antenna switching performance is achieved by means of a square loop slot loaded with a silicon PIN diode. An initial prototype with a switchable band reject function at 5.8 GHz has been fabricated and evaluated, obtaining good results.
