A novel water‐drop‐shaped monopole antenna that is based on the model from nature is designed to realize ultra‐wideband (UWB). Its UWB‐related characteristics are simulated and experimentally verified. The results show that the proposed antenna has good radiation performances, which illuminates the structure is a good candidate for antenna design. Method of designing antenna using the model from nature will serve as a good candidate for the future antenna design. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
