Abstract In this article, a printed plaque monopole antenna fed by a microstrip line for ultrawideband (UWB) width with triple notch band has been presented.The antenna is then modified to possess band rejection at the wireless local area network (5.1–5.8 GHz) by an inverted U‐shape slot or Π‐shape slot, or Λ–shape slot within the radiating patch. In addition, two half wavelength slots (U‐slot) are cut in the radiating patch to generate the first and third notch band in 3.25–3.75 GHz for WiMAX and 7.25–7.75 GHz for down link of X‐band satellite communication system. Surface current distributions and transmission line model are used to analyze the effect of these slots. The proposed antennas are simulated and fabricated. Radiation pattern shows good omnidirectional radiation patterns in the H‐plane and monopole like patterns in the E‐plane. The proposed antenna gain varies from 1.63 to 5.05 dB over the whole UWB region excluding at notch band. The design antenna has a compact size of 30 × 30 mm 2 . © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
