The proposed design consists of rectangular radiating patch with impedance steps and fractal slots in the partial ground plane. Wide-band matching is obtained by using the stair cased radiating patch and fractal slots in the partial ground plane. A slot is inserted in the radiating patch to reject 5.8 GHz WLAN band.The design antenna has a compact size of (30×36 mm2).The proposed antenna is modelled on FR4 substrate and is simulated in CST Microwave studio. The results have also been verified using Ansoft (HFSS).The antenna due to its compact size and appreciable properties can be used in portable UWB systems.

INTRODUCTION shaped and U-shaped slots on the radiating patch The frequency band from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz [6-10]. Also there is another technique which uses has been allocated by the Federal Communications parasitic strips in the printed monopole [11-12]. Commission (FCC) for Ultra wideband (UWB) In this paper, a novel compact planar UWB wireless communication applications. As UWB is antenna is analyzed and simulated. The proposed the most promising technology for future short rectangular patch antenna parameters are range wireless communication [1]. The advantages calculated based on transmission line modal of UWB communication are that they offer more analysis [13] and the detailed antenna geometry resistance to multipath phenomenon, high data rate and parameters are given. The antenna with non- short range wireless communication, low uniform impedance steps and fractal slots in the complexity and low emission power. Antenna is ground plane can cover the entire UWB frequency the important part of UWB system. The antenna band without rejecting WLAN band. First the required must have an omnidirectional and stable antenna results have been analyzed with and radiation pattern and high radiation efficiency [2]. without fractal slots [14] in the partial ground The problem is that the IEEE 802.11a WLAN plane. Then we have analyzed the antenna results system operates in 5.15 to 5.825 GHz band which with and without notch by introducing slot in the generate potential interference with the UWB radiating patch. A slot in the radiating patch is communication. This interference can be avoided inserted to notch the 5.8 GHz WLAN band by using good filtering techniques. But the without affecting its gain. The antenna designed filtering technique is much expensive and has high gain, stable radiation pattern and best increases the system complexity. So by designing matching in the desired frequency band. antenna having band notch features is the most simple and economical solution [3-5]. Various 2.

The antenna is fed So we must enhance the impedance bandwidth with a 50 Ω microstrip line modeled on FR4 of the antenna. This is achieved by increasing substrate having thickness 1.6 mm, relative electrical path length for the surface current. To permittivity of 4.4 and tanδ = 0.0025. The bottom increase the electrical path length for surface side of antenna consists of partial ground plane current distribution two similar fractal slots are with two fractal shaped slots as shown in Fig. 2. etched on top edge of the ground plane. So by The overall size of antenna is 30×36 mm2 (Wsub increasing the electrical path length for surface × Lsub) which is quite compact. The distance current the impedance bandwidth in turn enhances between ground plane and radiating patch is kept [15, 16].
