Abstract

In this proposed paper, an octagonal shaped microstrip patch antenna with frequency band stop performance is designed for UWB applications. The scheduled antenna consists of one L slot and one I slot onto the radiation patch and ground plane is modified by cutting two rectangular slots into it. By etching the slots from the radiation patch and from ground plane, quadruple band notched properties in the WLAN band (5.2-5.8 GHz), WiMAX band (3.5-5.5 GHz), National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) (5.15 to 5.825 GHz) and C band (4 GHz) are obtained. The scheduled antenna has a suitable size of 19*16.5 mm2 and operates from 2.83 to 10.72 GHz with considerable applications X band (8-12 GHz), upper S band (2-4 GHz), RFID (6.6-7.1GHz) and ITU uplink satellite communication band (8.1-8.4 GHz). We get better return loss, antenna efficiency, VSWR and radiation patterns by doing the simulation.
