An Elliptical-Shaped Dual-Band UWB Notch Antenna for Wireless Applications

Abstract

This paper discusses an elliptical ultrawideband (UWB) antenna and a dual-band UWB notch antenna. To achieve a UWB bandwidth, two corner cuts are etched into the rectangular slot on the partial ground plane. An inverted-U-shaped and conductor-shaped resonator are utilized to achieve dual-band notch characteristics on a partial ground plane. The suggested antenna has an overall dimension of 24×32 mm2. The suggested UWB antenna has a gain of 4.9 dB, a bandwidth of 2.5–11 GHz, a linear phase response, a group delay of less than 1 ns, and a steady radiation pattern. The suggested UWB notch rejects WLAN and ITU bands from 5.2–5.7 GHz and 7.2–8.5 GHz, respectively, with an impedance bandwidth of 2.5–11 GHz. The UWB notch antenna features a linear phase, a group delay of less than 1 ns, and a stable radiation pattern.
