Abstract:A CPW-fed ultra-wideband antenna with dual bandnotch characteristics is realized experimentally and numerically. Two notched frequency bands are obtained by utilizing a tuning stub between the fork-like radiation element and a rectangle slot in the CPW ground plane. The two notched bands can be controlled by adjusting the length of the tuning stub and the length of the rectangle slot. Experimental and numerical antenna shows that the proposed antenna, with compact size of 21×28 mm 2 , has an impedance bandwidth ranging from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz for voltage standing-wave ratio less than 2, expect two notch band frequency 5 GHz-6 GHz for WLAN and 7.7 GHz-8.5 GHz for X-band for satellite and military applications.
