Abstract

A novel compact microstrip-fed UWB antenna with quad notched band is proposed. The antenna consists of a rectangular radiating patch with a half circle, a tapered microstrip feed-line, and a semi-elliptical ground plane. With a pair of L-shaped slots, complementary co-directional SRR and a pair of C-shaped stubs, four notched bands are created to prevent interference from WiMAX/lower WLAN/higher WLAN/X-band. Experimental results show that the designed antenna, with compact size of 20 × 30 mm2, has an ultrawide band (VSWR < 2) from 2.68 to 13 GHz, except four notched bands of 3.13–3.8, 4.87–5.52, 5.65–6.1, 7.12–8 GHz. Good radiation patterns and stable gain within the operating band have been observed.
