Abstract:

As the notched bandwidth of the existing band-notched ultra-wideband(UWB) antennas are difficult to control,this paper presents a novel kind of UWB slot antenna with controllable notched bandwidth.In the investigation,first,a broadened rectangular solt antenna is used to generate ultra-wideband characteristics covering 3.1~10.6GHz band.Then,a pair of inverted L-shaped slits is embedded in the ground to create a band-notched function.The notched bandwidth can be easily controlled by adjusting the width and location of the slits.Finally,an UWB antenna with rejection band at 5.0~6.0GHz is successfully designed and fabricated,which effectively eliminates the potential interference from WLAN.

Key words: ultra-wideband antenna, notched characteristic, slot antenna, L-shaped slit, controllable notched bandwidth
