Abstract: ABSTRACT A novel compact coplanar waveguide-fed antenna is presented with triple band-notched characteristics. A C-slot is etched in a novel patch to avoid interference from WiMAX band. By using pair of CSRR slots and pair of L-shaped slits in ground plane, two notched bands for WLAN and ITU 8 GHz bands are obtained, respectively. The antenna has bandwidth of 2.8-11.2 GHz with three notched bands of 3.3-3.7 GHz, 5-6 GHz, and 8-8.4 GHz to avoid interference from WiMAX, WLAN, and ITU 8 GHz bands, respectively. The antenna has good impedance matching and stable radiation patterns. Good agreement is reached between measured and simulated results. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
