Abstract :
In this letter, a novel low-profile microstrip-fed compact triple band-notched ultrawideband (UWB) antenna is proposed. Notch bands around the 3.3-3.8-GHz WiMAX and 5.15-5.85-GHz WLAN frequencies are obtained by etching out two elliptic single complementary split-ring resonators (ESCSRRs) of different dimensions from the radiating patch of the antenna. Furthermore, by placing two rectangular split-ring resonators near the feedline-patch junction of the antenna, rejection for the 7.9-8.4-GHz X-band frequencies is achieved. Design guidelines for implementing the notch-bands at the desired frequency regions are provided. The match between the simulated and experimental results suggests that the proposed antenna can be a good candidate for application in UWB communication systems.
