Abstract-A CPW-fed UWB antenna with WiMAX and WLAN band-notched characteristics is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna is fed by a CPW structure and provides the band-notched characteristics by etching an arc slot on the monopole plate and integrating the antenna with electromagnetically coupled microstrip resonator into a single module. In order to prevent interference problem due to existing nearby communication systems within the UWB operating frequency, the two band-notches are designed to reject possible interference with the existing 3.25-3.75 GHz band for IEEES02.16 WiMAX and 5.15-5.825 GHz band for IEEES02.11a WLAN and HIPERLAN/2 WLAN The two notched bands can easily be controlled by a few geometry parameters of the arc slot and the microstrip resonator. Surface current distributions and conceptual equivalent-circuit models are used to analyze the effect of the slot and the resonator. The proposed antenna is simulated and fabricated. Moreover, the performances of the antenna are demonstrated along with simulated and measured results.
This paper presents the design of a crossed oval-ring microstrip slot antenna to achieve triple-frequency operation for WLAN/WiMAX applications. The proposed antenna is composed of a rectangular microstrip feed line and a ground plane on which three crossed oval-ring slots are etched. The three crossed slot loops finally excite three resonant modes and the resonant frequencies of the proposed antenna are mainly controlled by the dimensions and locations of the slot loops. The antenna prototype is fabricated and the characteristics are experimentally verified. The measured impedance bandwidths for triple operating bands can reach 840/670/940 MHz with return losses larger than 10 dB, which is enough for WLAN/WiMAX communication. In addition, good radiation characteristics with moderate peak gains are obtained and the measured and simulated results show a good agreement.
