Abstract

In this paper a novel antenna with frequency notch characteristic has been presented. The antenna consists of a C-shaped microstrip antenna with two symmetrical notches and a rectangular parasitic patch. The antenna has tunable property due to integrated pin diode. When pin diode is OFF the antenna works like an ultra wide band antenna from 5 to 8 GHz. But when diode is ON the antenna has two bands separated by a small band-frequency notch. The antenna has very high cross polarization attenuation. The whole antenna is simulated on MoM based full wave electromagnetic simulator IE3D and fabricated. The results are in close resemblance.
