This paper presents the band‐notched operation of a printed short‐circuited wideband monopole antenna. The notched or rejected band within a wide operating bandwidth is obtained by embedding an inverted U‐shaped slot close to the shorting point of the antenna, where strong excited surface currents in the antenna are usually present. The notched band is controllable by adjusting the lengths of the inner and outer perimeters of the embedded U‐shaped slot. A constructed prototype of the antenna is demonstrated, and a parametric study of the embedded slot used for band‐notched operation is also presented. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
