A coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with a notch band characteristic is presented for 2.4 GHz and UWB applications. The bandwidth is broadened by embedding two inverted L-shaped slots in the CPW ground and the notch band is achieved by etching a rectangle slot in the CPW ground. The notched band can be controlled by adjusting the length of the rectangle slot and the two inverted L-shaped slots. Experimental and numerical results show that the proposed antenna with compact size of 28 ¡Á 21 mm2, has an impedance bandwidth range from 2.38 GHz to 12.0 GHz for voltage standing-wave ratio (VSWR) less than 2, expect the notch band frequency 5.0?.0 GHz for HIPERLAN/2, IEEE 802.11a (5.1?.9 GHz) and C-band (4.4? GHz) for satellite and military applications.
