A sharply rejected dual notch band UWB monopole antenna is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna consists of maple leaf shaped radiating element, a 50 Ω microstrip feed line and truncated ground plane. The proposed antenna shows the UWB operation in the frequency range (1.7 GHz–11.1 GHz) with VSWR < 2 except the notch bands and two band notches centered at 4.3 GHz and 7.7 GHz. The band notches are achieved by introducing a meandered slot in the radiating element and U-shaped slot in feed line. The substrate used for designing of UWB antenna is low loss Rogers 5880 having relative permittivity of 2.2. The novelty of the proposed antenna is its shape and ability to support UWB bandwidth requirements, and it also rejects two bands to avoid possible interference with existing communication system. Good agreement between the simulated and measured results is observed. The proposed antenna has good gain and efficiency at pass bands.
