Abstract

In order to prevent interference problem due to existing nearby communication systems within the UWB operating frequency, a compact triple band-notch UWB antenna is presented in this communication. This antenna, designed for the rejection of interference with Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), lower and upper wireless local area networks (WLANs) covering 3.3-3.6 GHz, 5.15-5.35 GHz and 5.725-5.825 GHz, provides three notched bands by only one structure with simple design. Based on simulation and measurement, it shows that the proposed antenna can guarantee a wide bandwidth from 3.03 to 11.4 GHz with triple unwanted band-notches successfully.
