This letter presents a novel ultrawideband (UWB) antenna with tunable notched band. The antenna is assembled on an FR4 substrate with thickness of 0.8 mm and εr = 4.4. By inserting a π-shaped slot on the radiating patch, band-notch function is achieved. By loading the slot with lumped varactor, tunability of the created notch would be possible. Based on this technique, an electronically controlled notched-band antenna is designed and fabricated including a single varactor diode with a varying capacitance value of 0.63-2.67 pF. Using the cited varactor, notched band tunability of 2.7-7.2 GHz is obtained.
