A Printed Heart Monopole Antenna with Band-rejected Characteristics for IEEE 802.16a and UWB Applications

A novel design of a printed heart-shaped monopole antenna, with a ring-section slot for IEEE 802.16a and ultra-wideband (UWB) applications, is proposed where the 5.150 to 5.825 GHz frequency band has been rejected. The measured bandwidth ranges, for a ...
Many various configurations and various substrate materials for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications have been investigated. Many printed broadband monopole configurations, 1–3 such as circular, semi-circular and square shapes, can achieve ultra-wideband characteristics, omni-directional radiation patterns, simple structures, light weight and low cost. The IEEE 802.15.3a standard 4 specifies the 3.1...
