ABSTRACT A compact coplanar waveguide fed circular wide-slot antenna with dual-band-notched characteristic is proposed by using an arc-shaped slot (ASS) and an arc-shaped parasitic element (ASPE) for ultra-wideband (UWB) communication applications. The center frequencies of the dual-notch bands can be tuned in a wide range by adjusting the parameters of the ASS and the ASPE. Both the numerical and experimental results show that the proposed antenna can operate over a wide frequency band ranging from 2.7 to 12 GHz with VSWR < 2, with the exception of the two notch bands operating at wireless local area network band and X-band. In addition, the proposed antenna has a compact size and omnidirectional radiation pattern, which is suitable for UWB communication applications. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

ABSTRACT In this article, a wide-slot ultrawideband antenna with dual band-notch characteristics is proposed numerically and verified experimentally. The dual band-notch functions are obtained by using a nested split ring resonator (NSRR) and a stepped impedance resonator (SIR). The designed two notch bands are tunable by adjusting the dimension of the NSRR and the SIR. Simulation and measurement results agree well. The proposed antenna with omnidirectional radiation patterns and desired notch bands is suitable for UWB communication applications. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

ABSTRACT An asymmetric coplanar strip (ACS)-fed dual-band antenna using loaded capacitance terminations for 2.4/5.8 GHz wireless local area network applications is studied numerically and verified experimentally. The proposed antenna consists of two meandered strip radiating elements, two loaded capacitance terminations, an asymmetric ground plane, a shunt inductor, and an ACS-fed structure. Two resonance frequencies are controlled by adjusting the dimensions of the two meandered strip radiator elements and two loaded capacitance terminations. This antenna has small size of 17 × 12 mm2 including the ground plane. Simulation and measurement results show that the proposed antenna can work at dual-band frequencies and has omnidirectional radiation patterns. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
