A novel hybrid design of Bluetooth and UWB antenna with dual band-notched functions is proposed. The proposed antenna structure consists of a microstrip-fed main patch and electromagnetically coupled parasitic patch with arc-shaped strips, achieving Bluetooth and UWB performance. Additionally, the split ring resonator (SRR) slot etched on the main patch and the square patch close to microstrip feedline are aimed to obtain dual notched bands. The numerical and experimental results exhibit that the designed antenna operates over the wide frequency band from 3 to more than 12 GHz, while showing the extra resonant mode at 2.4-GHz Bluetooth and the band rejection performance at 3.5-GHz WiMAX and 5.2-GHz WLAN.
