AbstractThis is the abstract text.

Implement two antennas U-slot patch for Ultra Wide Band,

one working in the frequency of 4.3 GHz and the other at 450
Mghz.
The U-slot patch antenna was originally developed as a
single-layer, single-patch wideband antenna. It has recently
been shown that it can also be designed to perform a number
of other functions. In this paper, a comprehensive account
is given on the development of this antenna. Emphasis is
placed on experimental and simulation results for various Uslot topologies illustrating the antennas versatility in several
practical applications. These include wideband, dual- and
triple-band operation with small and large frequency ratios,
as well as for circular-polarization applications.

U slot loaded RMSA. The radiating patch layer and U slot

loaded patch layer are separated using a thick air substrate
(10 mm) to enhance the bandwidth. A previous study of U
slot loaded RMSA with an air substrate of 12 mm provides
the impedance BW of 27.5 % at centre frequency 1815 MHz ,
another U slot loaded triangular microstrip antenna with an air
substrate of 14.3 mm provides the impedance BW of 18.3%
at centre frequency 1677 MHz [15], whereas in this paper
dual bands are achieved with impedance BW 40 % at centre
frequency 3815 MHz and 29 % at centre frequency 5995 MHz.

I. I NTRODUCTION
THE properties of UWB communications such as low power
consumption, high data rate, immunity to multi path and high
time resolution have attracted a lot of attentions during these
years. Low power consumption of UWB transceivers makes
them a good candidate for sensor networks applications. There
are some challenges with UWB communications: First, the
coexistence problem between UWB and narrow band systems.
Second, is the low range of UWB communications which
limits the application of the system.[1] The UWB spectrum
consists of the following three parts:
1) the main spectrum (3.110.6 GHz);
2) the lower residual spectrum (03.1 GHz);
3) the upper residual spectrum (10.6 GHz).

II. THE UWB

In theory, the UWB power density within the lower and
upper residual spectra should be ( dBm/MHz). In practice,
this is not the case; thus, the UWB power density within the
residual spectrum should be the minimum possible in order
to have very little effect on communications systems working
within the residual spectrum of the UWB signal. [2]
The BW of the MSAs can be increased by using the
modified shape patches, planar multiresonator configurations,
multilayer configurations, stacked multiresonator configurations.

In this paper, a new prototype is presented which consist of

an E-shaped ground plane, a truncated radiating patch and a
