摘要

A novel design concept for a versatile multi-functional coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed ultrawideband (UWB) printed antenna is described in this letter. The antenna also exhibits a dual complementary characteristic of frequency notched response and narrowband response invoked by different combinative loading of a pair of split ring resonators (SRRs) and metallic shunt strips on the CPW feed line. The antenna restores its UWB response when the SRRs' split gaps are shorted. The simulated impedance and radiation characteristics are validated with measured results obtained using fabricated prototypes to establish the proof of concept.
