Abstract
In this paper, an ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with dual band-notched characteristics is proposed. The proposed antenna also covers ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical)/Bluetooth band. The antenna consists of a microstrip fed truncated U-shaped patch, T-shaped stub, rectangular mushroom type electromagnetic band gap structures (EBG), and partial ground plane. To mitigate the problem of interference due to standard narrow bands (like wireless interoperability microwave access (WiMAX) and wireless local area network (WLAN)) lie in the range of UWB, dual band notched characteristics is introduced. The WiMAX and WLAN band notched characteristics are realized by introducing a T-shaped stub and rectangular mushroom type EBG structures, respectively. The proposed antenna is printed on a 1.6 mm thick FR4 substrate with relative permittivity \((\upvarepsilon _{\mathrm{r}})\) 4.4 and the size of actual antenna is \(36 \times 40\hbox { mm}^{2}\). The measured results shows that the proposed antenna attains a wide impedance bandwidth \((\hbox {VSWR} \le 2)\) from 2.35 to 11.6 GHz with dual band notched characteristics from 3.29 to 3.9 GHz and 5.1 to 5.85 GHz with stable radiation patterns. The time domain behaviors of the proposed antenna is also analyzed for pulse handling capability.
