A New UWB Slot Antenna with Rejection of WiMax and WLAN BandsAbstract
This paper presents a compact coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed ultra wideband (UWB) planar slot antenna with the characteristics of dual band rejection. The antenna consists of a rectangular slot with triangular tuning stub. The band notching of WiMax (3.2-3.8 GHz, with VSWR 68 at 3.5 GHz) is achieved by inserting a ‘U’ slot in the ground plane and band-notching of WLAN 802.11a (5.1-5.9 GHz, with VSWR 14 at 5.5 GHz) is obtained by embedding a ‘U’ type slot in the triangular tuning stub. The characteristics of the proposed antenna are studied both numerically and experimentally, and the design parameters for achieving optimal operation of the antennas are also analyzed extensively. The size of the antenna is around 28mm (L) × 21mm (W) × 1.6mm (T). The prototype of the proposed antenna is fabricated for its optimal values and tested. The VSWR, radiation pattern and gain are measured and agree well with the simulation results. The proposed antenna is simple, easy to fabricate and can be integrated into any UWB system, which can work without interference from WiMax, WLAN, and HYPERLAN/2 systems.
