This article presents the compact planar antenna with 3.5/5.5/8.2 GHz triple band‐notched characteristics. The antenna consists of an octagon shape patch with 50 Ω transmission line. By etching two C‐shaped slots in the patch and adding pair of L‐shaped resonator coupled to the radiating patch, band‐rejected filtering properties in the WiMAX/WLAN/ITU bands are achieved. The proposed ultrawide band (UWB) antenna is optimized to operate in the frequency band from 3 to 11 GHz for VSWR < 2. Measured results confirm that the antenna is suitable for UWB applications because of its compact size and high performance. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
