Single-Layer Differential CPW-Fed Notch-Band Tapered-Slot UWB Antenna

A single-layer differential coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed notch-band tapered-slot ultrawideband (UWB) antenna is proposed in this letter. In order to achieve the sharp and controllable notch-band characteristic, one pair of half-wavelength stubs and slits are introduced inside the tapered slot and in the circular patches, respectively. Compared to a single-ended CPW-fed UWB antenna, due to adopting the differential feeding structure, the proposed antenna has lower cross polarization. Since all of the structures are printed on the same layer of the substrate, it can be fabricated easily and very suitable to be integrated with RF front-end circuits. The measured -10-dB impedance bandwidth is 126% (from 2.78 to 12.3 GHz), along with a sharp notch band from 5.2 to 6.0 GHz. Good agreement is achieved between the measured results and simulated results.
