The Design of a Band-rejected Cross Semi-elliptic Monopole Antenna for UWB Applications

A cross semi-elliptic monopole antenna with a band-rejected characteristic is presented and investigated. By embedding four L-shaped slits on the cross semi-elliptic monopole, an antenna with a rejected band from 5.29 to 6.20 GHz can be ...
Planar monopole antennas, with their advantages of low cost and wideband characteristics, are widely used in wireless applications. 1 However, they suffer from distortion of the radiation pattern at higher operating frequencies, which leads to a directional radiation. 2,3 A cross monopole antenna has been implemented to overcome the...
