BUTTERFLY SHAPED SINGLE BAND NOTCH MONOPOLE ANTENNA FOR UWB APPLICATION

In the given paper, a micro strip line fed monopole antenna consisting single notch of butterfly shaped printed antenna is proposed. The proposed structure has been designed and fabricated on FR-4 dielectric substrate which is one sided copper laminated. The wings of butterfly shaped monopole antenna are formed by adding two rotated ellipse of same radius symmetrically placed about the center of feeding micro strip line. Various technique such as integration of slot in the radiator have introduced in the butterfly structure that allow the filtering characteristic in the UWB antenna without increase in cost and complexity. The antenna is simulated on the HFSS Simulation software.
