ABSTRACT
The rapid growth of ultra-wideband (UWB) technology over the past two decades has sparked a lot of attention among the researcher community. Traditionally, it has been used for radar imaging, but recently due to technological advancements, it allows users to access high-data communication services with an additional advantage of low-power utilizations. As an essential part of communication systems, antenna has attained deep attention among researchers and academicians as well. Among them, printed monopole antennas are very much popular because of their portable size, low weight, ease of fabrication, etc. However, antenna designs for UWB applications should be capable of avoiding interferences with other existing narrow-band radio communication systems. Moreover, the UWB antenna also suffers from multi-path fading, which is conquered by adopting the concept of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) technology. In this book, a comprehensive analysis has been carried out on UWB and UWB MIMO antennas with band-notched characteristics. The overall organization of the book is broadly classified into seven chapters (including this chapter): Single Band-Notched UWB Antennas (Chapter 2), Dual Band-Notched UWB Antennas (Chapter 3), Multi Band-Notched UWB Antennas (Chapter 4), Band-Notched UWB MIMO Antennas (Chapter 5), Reconfigurable Band-Notched UWB Antennas (Chapter 6), and finally, Tunable Band-Notched UWB Antennas (Chapter 7).
