Abstract :

A compact printed monopole antenna for ultra-wide band (UWB) applications with band-notched characteristics is designed in this paper. The radiating element of the proposed antenna is composed of an orthogonal patch fed by a 50-ohm microstrip feedline. It has a very compact size of 20mm×12mm, which can be integrated easily with other RF front-end circuits. Also, this antenna is made in small and compact dimensions in the size of 12×20 mm square, which can be easily integrated with other circuits before and after it. The parameters and functions of this antenna have been analyzed and investigated both through simulations and after construction. It has been demonstrated that the proposed antenna provides an ultra-wide bandwidth from 2.81 GHz to 13.30 GHz, completely covering the range set by the federal communication commission (FCC) for UWB operations (3.1GHz to 10.6GHz) and a frequency band rejection (5.14-6.23 GHz) to eliminate wireless local area network (WLAN) systems interfering. The radiation properties of the proposed antenna are also investigated throughout the paper. Besides that, for a fair comparison with other published articles in this field, the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) method has been used. It also has advantages such as low profile, low cost, high gain and satisfactory radiation characteristics.
