Description
Summary:ABSTRACT A new design of exponentially tapered slot UWB antenna with frequency notch characteristics is proposed in this letter. The microstrip line feed of the antenna is loaded with a pair of SRRs which controls the notch frequencies. For proof of concept and versatility, two different SRR geometries, square SRR (S‐SRR) and hexagonal SRR (H‐SRR), are used to obtain the frequency notches. Fabricated prototypes are measured and their impedance and radiation characteristics are validated with the simulation results. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
