Circular SRR Shaped UWB Antenna with WiMAX Band Notch Characteristics

A Compact ultra-wideband microstrip patch antenna with single notch characteristics is proposed in this paper. The proposed antenna comprises of a split ring resonator (SRR) and an open loop rectangular resonator (OLRR). The split ring resonator in this paper plays a dual role, it acts as a radiating patch and also as a band rejecter to eliminate the entire worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) covers 3.3 GHz - 3.6 GHz band. OLRR is used for the suppression of the harmonic frequency band notch. The compact size of the antenna is 36×30 mm
