Square/hexagonal split ring resonator loaded exponentially tapered slot ultra wideband (UWB) antenna with frequency notch characteristics

What is it about?

ABSTRACT: A new design of exponentially tapered slot UWB antenna with frequency notch characteristics is proposed in this letter. The microstrip line feed of the antenna is loaded with a pair of SRRs which controls the notch frequencies. For proof of concept and versatility, two different SRR geometries, square SRR (S-SRR) and hexagonal SRR (H-SRR), are used to obtain the frequency notches. Fabricated prototypes are measured and their impedance and radiation characteristics are validated with the simulation results
