In this article, we present a novel small ultra‐wideband microstrip‐fed planar monopole antenna composed of a hexagonal patch, a truncated stub, a step ground structure, and a conductor back plane in the shape of a window. Impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is ∼136% with voltage‐standing wave ratio <2 in the frequency range of 2.7–14.3 GHz over an UWB frequency range that satisfies FCC's requirements for an antenna. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
