Abstract :
To prevent interference problems due to existing nearby communication systems within an ultrawideband (UWB) operating frequency, the significance of an efficient band-notched design is increased. Here, the band-notches are realized by adding independent controllable strips in terms of the notch frequency and the width of the band-notches to the fork shape of the UWB antenna. The size of the flat type band-notched UWB antenna is etched on 24 times 36 mm2 substrate. Two novel antennas are presented. One antenna is designed for single band-notch with a separated strip to cover the 5.15-5.825 GHz band. The second antenna is designed for dual band-notches using two separated strips to cover the 5.15-5.35 GHz band and 5.725-5.825 GHz band. The simulation and measurement show that the proposed antenna achieves a wide bandwidth from 3 to 12 GHz with the dual band-notches successfully.
