Title
Band notched UWB circular monopole antenna with inductance enhanced modified mushroom EBG structures.
Abstract
Circular monopole antenna for ultra-wide band applications with notch band transition from WLAN to WiMAX is presented. The proposed antenna rejects WiMAX band (3.3–3.8 GHz). Antennas utilises modified mushroom-type electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structures to achieve band-notched designs. The proposed inductance enhanced modified EBG structures are 34 % compact than the conventional mushroom EBG structures. The band notched antenna designs using EBG structures have advantages like notch-frequency tuning, antenna design independent approach and omnidirectional radiation pattern. The step wise effect of inductance enhancement and tuning of notch from WLAN band (5–6 GHz) to WiMAX band is shown. Effect of variation of EBG structure parameters on which notched frequency depends is investigated. The proposed antenna has been fabricated on low cost FR4 substrate with overall dimensions as (42 × 50 × 1.6) mm. Measured results are in good agreement with simulated ones.
