Abstract

In this paper, a novel printed monopole antenna with two band notches is presented for applications in wireless communications. The proposed antenna consists of a microstrip fed ring-shape radiator, a backed rectangular metallic plate and a ground plane with two H slots. The simulated results show that the antenna has three operating bands (2.36 to 2.94 GHz, 3.26 to 4.04 GHz and 4.86 to 6.44 GHz). The measured results coincide with the simulated ones. The designed antenna is small, low profile and inexpensive, which is suitable for applications in wireless local area network (WLAN) and worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX).
