A Small UWB Antenna with Dual Band-Notched Characteristics by J. Xu, D.-Y. Shen, G.-T. Wang, X.-H. Zhang, X.-P. Zhang, K. Wu

“…The measured VSWR shows that the proposed antenna could operate from 3.05 to 10.7 GHz with VSWR less than 2, except two stopbands at 3.38 to 3.82 GHz and 5.3 to 5.8 GHz for filtering the WiMAX and WLAN signals. Radiation patterns are simulated by HFSS and verified by CST, and quasiomnidirectional radiation patterns in the H-plane could be observed. …”
