New design for compact reconfigurable microstrip monopole patch antenna with ultrawideband (UWB) operation for wireless communication is presented in this paper.The proposed antenna design is capable of electronically rejecting various groups of operating frequency bands according to the surrounding interference. The reconfigurable proposed antenna consists of parallel V‐shaped monopole structure and electromagnetic band‐gap structure integrated with p‐i‐n doping structure device (PIN diode) switches. The switches are to reject certain frequency. The operating bandwidth extends from 0.6 to 30 GHz without discontinuities (at 10 dB reflection coefficient). By inserting a PIN diode switches, the printed open slots of the UWB antenna are closed to reject different frequencies of bluetooth and wireless LAN bands. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
