Design and analysis of monopole patch antenna with triple band rejection characteristics.

ABSTRACT In this paper, a slot loaded ultra wideband monopole patch antenna with triple band-notched characteristic has been presented. The antenna consists of rectangular patch with three modified inverted U-shaped slots to create three notches at Wi-MAX (3.3-3.6 GHz), C-band (3.7-4.2 GHz), and WLAN (5.15-5.85 GHz) frequencies. Lumped-element equivalent circuit model and current distribution curves have been used to explain the triple band-rejection characteristics of the designed antenna. The proposed triple notch structure has been fabricated and tested against simulated data. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 59:138-142, 2017 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
