Abstract In this article, we propose a swallow‐tailed UWB planar monopole antenna that exhibits a notch characteristic in the 5‐GHz WLAN band (5.15–5.825 GHz) by inserting a hat‐shaped slot into the antenna. The effects of the length of the slot on the notched frequency band are analyzed. The radiation patterns of the proposed antenna are also measured and the gains are shown to be flat, except in the notched frequency band. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
