Abstract
Band notched circular monopole antennas for ultra-wide band applications are proposed in this paper. The proposed antennas in this paper can reject worldwide interoperability for microwave access WiMAX band (3.3–3.8 GHz) and wireless local area network WLAN band (5–6 GHz). Antennas utilises mushroom-type electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structures and I-slot embedded edge located via (ELV) EBG structures to achieve band-notched designs. The advantages of band notched designs using EBG structures like notch-frequency tuning, dual-notch antenna designs and stable radiation pattern are also verified. Various antenna designs with slot in EBG structures, variations in placement of EBG structures, number of EBG structures and ELV type EBG structures are simulated. About 30% reduction in size of EBG structures is obtained if conventional mushroom type EBG is replaced by proposed I-slot embedded ELV-EBG structure. Fabricated and measured results are in good agreement with simulated ones.
