A Novel Switchable Double Band-Notch Antenna for Ultra-Wideband Application
Keywords:
Microstrip-fed monopole antenna, switchable band notch antenna, Ultra-Wideband (UWB) antennaAbstract
A novel microstrip-fed planar monopole antenna is proposed that is miniaturized in size and provides reconfigurable band-notch properties. The antenna's impedance bandwidth is 150% for VSWR < 2 across 2.6-18.3 GHz, thus satisfying FCC's frequency requirement for UWB systems defined between 3.1-10.6 GHz. To circumvent interference issues resulting from existing nearby communications systems within the UWB operating frequency, the antenna includes an inverted open-loop triangular slot embedded in the hexagonal shaped radiation patch to realize a band-notch response between 3.1 to 3.9 GHz necessary to reject the WiMax band, and open-end resonator structures at both sides of the patch to create a band-notch response between 5.1 to 5.9 GHz, thus enabling band rejection of WLAN and Hyperlink systems. Furthermore, it is demonstrated the band-notch can be electronically controlled without compromising the antenna's characteristic features. This is achieved by strategically located PIN diodes on the antenna.
