A novel multi-ellipses stacked UWB microstrip antenna with dual band-notch characteristics is proposed. The proposed antenna is consists of elliptical stacked radiation patch and embedded with a U shaped slot and a crescent moon slot, ground plane of formed by rectangular and elliptical shaped, and it is fed by taper microstrip line. The elliptical stacked radiation patch can get UWB operation band, ground plane and taper microstrip line can increase the impedance bandwidth. The U shaped slot and crescent shaped slot can generate WiMAX and WLAN band-notch. The antenna exhibits a measured S11<-10 dB operation frequency band over 2.3 GHz-10.6 GHz, band-notch is 3.21 GHz-3.91 GHz and 5.04 GHz-5.9 GHz. Parametric analysis has been conducted to investigate the effect of several important parameters of the antenna. The proposed antenna can be satisfied the demand of the UWB communication system and content for WiMAX/WLAN band-notch standard. Details of the proposed design and obtained experimental results are presented and discussed.
