Design of SRR loaded reconfigurable antenna for UWB and narrow band applications

Abstract

In this paper, a reconfigurable antenna utilizing the property of negative permeability of split ring resonators is proposed for band notched UWB and narrow band applications. The proposed design yield the resonant frequency of the narrow band operation and notch frequency of UWB operation coinciding at 5.8 GHz frequency. The proposed antenna is simulated and measured. Radiation efficiency of 80% and 50% is observed for the UWB and the narrow band operation, respectively.
