Multilateral monopole antenna with a band-notched operation for UWB application

This paper presents a novel design of a multilateral monopole antenna for ultra-wideband applications. It consists of a multilateral patch with a U-shaped notched, which intends to obtain frequency notched for WLAN. The proposed antenna operates from 2.65GHz to 11GHz for return loss of less than -10dB with 5.05-6 GHz notched. The notch frequency of the proposed antenna can be adjusted by controlling the location of slot. The measured results are in reasonably good agreement with the simulated results.
