A notch frequency at 5.8 GHz is interpolated within the UWB spectrum by using a dual of electromagnetic bandgap cells coupled to the antenna feeding line. By introducing a system of electromagnetic bandgap cells between the two antennas elements, the achieved results demonstrate nearly below-10 dB reflection coefficient over the spectrum and-1 dB at the notch frequency. Also, deposition between the two antennas is achieved to exceed 20 dB. The obtained results are simulated using full wave simulations. � 2017 IEEE.EnglishEBGMIMO antennaNotchUWB antennaAntenna feedersBroadband networksEnergy gapMetamaterialsMicrowave antennasElectromagnetic band gapsFull-wave simulationsMIMO antennaMutual coupling reductionsNotchNotch antennasNotch frequenciesUWB antennaUltra-wideband (UWB)Conference Paperhttps://doi.org/10.1109/APUSNCURSINRSM.2017.8072986
