UWB Antenna with Integrated Quadruple Notch Bands
摘要
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) communications have inherently very wide bandwidth and the frequency range for UWB communication can vary, but it often falls within the range of 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz. Microstrip antenna is widely used in UWB antenna design and can be used in an various applications, including aircraft, spacecraft, satellite, missile, mobile radio, and wireless communications. A quadruple notch band planar UWB antenna for wireless body area networks (WBANs) is proposed to solve the interference problem between UWB and narrowband communications, such as WiMAX (3.30–3.70 GHz), C band (3.7–4.2 GHz), WBAN (2.4 GHz), WLAN (5.47–5.725 GHz, 5.725–5.825 GHz), ISM band (5.725–5.875 GHz), Xband Satellite communication application (7.9–8.4 GHz). Thus the performance of antenna is improved by reducing the interference of other signals. The gain of the proposed antenna is −3.0 to −1.2 dBi.
