Popis: This paper presents system modelling and characterization of multiple-band notched ultrawideband (UWB) antennas using the singularity expansion method (SEM). Multiple-band notches in a classical UWB coplanar disc monopole antenna are achieved by introducing systematic defection slots in the coplanar ground structure solely. The antenna uses two dual-band meander ground-defects to create quadruple band notches to avoid possible interference with pre-existing standard services. The SEM with an improved pole-residue extraction scheme is developed to precisely characterize the band-notched antenna in the time and frequency domains. The improved matrix pencil method is applied to the bore sight impulse response of the proposed notched-band UWB antenna to precisely recognize the band-notches and extract the complex poles and residues at the operating bands between the reject-bands. This procedure is validated by reconstructing the impulse response of the antenna from the extracted poles and residues. The obtained simulation and measurement results are in a very good agreement and demonstrate the reliability of the proposed antenna model and characterization method.
