The antenna is composed of a U-shaped line radiator and a small strip bar and is partially grounded, so that the measured impedance bandwidth of the antenna is about 7. 88 GHz covering 3. 12 to 11 GHz with VSWR below 2, and the expected band rejection of 5.06 to 5. 89 GHz is also obtained. The characteristics of the proposed antenna are analyzed, and the geometric parameters for optimal performance are investigated in detail. A relatively stable, quasi-omnidirectional and quasi-symmetrical radiation pattern is also found. The proposed band-notched UWB antenna requires no external filters to avoid interference with other systems, and thus, greatly simplifies the system design of an ultra wideband WUSB communication system.展开更多
