Abstract

A novel compact dual band-notched ultra-wide band antenna with hexagonal slotted ground is proposed. By inserting two pairs of L-shaped branches symmetrically into the slotted ground plane, two notched bands, 3.3–3.7 GHz for worldwide interoperability for microwave access and 5.15–5.825 GHz for wireless local area network, are achieved, respectively. A prototype of the proposed antenna is designed, fabricated, and tested. By optimizing the length of the L-shaped branches and the gap between them, the desired bandwidth of VSWR (voltage standing wave ratio) less than 2.0 can be achieved, ranging from 2.5 to 11 GHz, except two stop-bands of 3.1–4.0 and 5.0–6.0 GHz. The simulated and measured results of the proposed antenna have shown a reasonable agreement between them. The proposed antenna has a compact size, ultra wide bandwidth, good radiation characteristics, and good time-domain behaviors. It is very suitable for modern wireless communication applications.
