UWB Antenna With Slots And Notched Characteristic At Bands 7.25-8.39 GHz And 5.15-5.82 GHz

This paper presents UWB Antenna with slots and notched characteristics at bands 7.25�8.39 GHz and 5.15�5.82 GHz. The antenna is manufactured on an FR-4 epoxy substrate with thickness of 1.6 mm and �r =4.4. Surface current distributions are used to show the effect of these slots. The proposed antenna has a compact size of 26x30mm2 and operates over 3.15 to 10.63 GHz with VSWR < 2. All simulations in this work have been carried out by using the electromagnetic software Ansoft HFSS 13. Details of the proposed antenna are presented along with measured and simulated results.
