dc.description.abstractDue to the release of 3.1-10.6 GHz band, UWB systems have a rapidly progressive development. They have been widely employed in short-range communication applications and large-bandwidth handheld devices. As part of the system, the UWB antenna plays an extremely important role. Due to the trend towards integrated printed circuits, co-planar waveguide technology is a feasible solution for designing the UWB antenna. This thesis focuses on designing a UWB co-planar waveguide antenna with a band-stop filter. This band-stop filter offers rejection to unwanted frequencies in the range of the operating band in order to avoid unnecessary interference from other communication applications and improve its own system’s performance. In addition, it can divide the whole wide band into a few sub-bands. This will create more flexibility for practical applications. The professional full-wave field solver software package CST Microwave Studio is used as the analysis tool to obtain the performances of this antenna. It operates from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz with a VSWR < 2 in the pass bands, and a VSWR > 2 in the stop bands. The selected frequencies demonstrate nearly omni-directional characteristics in radiation patterns. Comparing with other published UWB antenna designs, relatively reasonable group delay results are achieved. Measurements on a fabricated prototype validate the design approach.en_US
