A Miniaturised Monopole Wideband Antenna with Reconfigurable Band Rejection for WLAN/WiMAX
  This paper proposes a tuneable band-rejected miniaturised monopole antenna. The band-notching was achieved by printing an inner chorded crescent shape over the surface of the substrate. By placing a small varactor between the inner and outer arches, the centre frequency of each notch can be individually shifted downwards. The design of the proposed structure has a controllable rejection in the range from 2.38 to 3.87 GHz maintaining a wideband performance from 1.5 to 5 GHz based on VSWR ≤ 2. The antenna prototype was fabricated and tested. Simulated and measured results are performed and analysed. With a compact size, the proposed monopole antenna may well work as an internal antenna in a portable device.
