Band-notched ultrawide band planar inverted-F antenna

Abstract

A novel ultrawide band planar inverted-F antenna with band-notched characteristics is presented in this paper. The planar inverted-F antenna uses two parasitic elements to enhance the bandwidth to cover the ultrawide band. The band-notched feature is added by inserting a W-shaped slot on the top radiating element of the antenna with a band rejection from 5.08 to 6GHz (measured). Both the measured and simulated results are obtained to draw the conclusions. Copyright © 2012 H. T. Chattha et al.
