A novel ultrawideband square antenna with dual bandnotched performances is proposed. To obtain extended impedance bandwidth, novel techniques on the ground plane are used. Besides, the stopbands are realized by a I-shaped defected ground structure as well as a L-shaped arm ended up shorting pin on the top of the back plane. The experimental results exhibit that the antenna, with compact size 21 3 17 3 1 mm 3 , has an impedance bandwidth of 2.6-11.8 GHz for voltage standing wave ratio less than 2, except two frequency stopbands of 3.2-3.7, 5.1-5.9 GHz.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
