5.2 GHz notched ultra-wideband antenna using slot-type SRR

A band notch characteristic using a slot-type split ring resonator (SRR) working at microwave frequencies is used for designing a UWB antenna requiring the rejection of some frequency band, which is already in use by existing wireless services. The slot-type SRR is employed effectively for notching unwanted frequency band such as that for WLAN service, since it can be implemented with a small dimension and in a high Q operation similarly to the conventional strip-type SRR. Based on the simulation and measurement results, a band notched UWB antenna using a slot-type SRR is very effective in rejecting unwanted frequency in terms of its selectivity and small real estate.
