Abstract :
In this paper, a compact micro strip-line-fed open slot antenna with a frequency-notch function is investigated for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. To achieve wide bandwidth and partial band cutoff, a stepped strip and two pairs of slits on both sides of the slot are used respectively. A prototype of the proposed antenna is fabricated and its performances are measured. The measured results show that the antenna of 26.5mm×12mm dimensions sufficiently covers the band of UWB from 2.9GHz to more than 12GHz excluding two rejection bands of 3-4GHz and 5-6GHz. The measured gain across the UWB band are also measured and discussed.
