A compact dual band notched Ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with multiple Hilbert curve slots is proposed that exhibits an impedance bandwidth from 2.5GHz to 12GHz Hilbert curve slots result in band notch in the frequency range 5.15{5.85GHz assigned to IEEE 802.11a and HYPERLAN/2 as well as 7.9{8.4GHz band assigned to X-band uplink satellite communication systems. The antenna gain varies from 3dBi to 5dBi over the operating frequency. Stable radiation patterns throughout its operating frequency are obtained Over all antenna size is 25mm by 45.75mm including the ground plane. Simulation and measured result of the proposed antenna are in good agreement.
