In this article, a novel square monopole antenna for ultra wideband applications with variable frequency band‐notch characteristic is presented. By using T‐shaped slots, additional resonances are excited and hence, the fractional bandwidth is increased up to 150%. A modified T‐shaped conductor‐backed plane is used to generate the frequency band‐stop performance. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
