A novel microstrip‐line fed beak‐shaped monopole‐like slot UWB antenna is proposed for enhanced ultrawideband, bluetooth, GPS, and GSM applications. In which, a beak‐shaped radiating patch is fed by a microstrip‐line and a square ground plane is defected by etching a hexagonal slot. Two triangular slots in the beak‐shaped radiator and hexagonal‐shaped defect in the ground plane are used to obtain GPS (1520–1590 MHz), GSM (1770–1840 MHz), and bluetooth (2385–2490 MHz). Furthermore, the bandwidth of an antenna is increased by etching a triangular slot at the junction of patch and feeding line. The antenna is fabricated on 1.6 mm thick commercial available FR4 material. The antenna offers an enhanced bandwidth of 24.26 GHz from 0.24 to 24.5 GHz with the voltage standing wave ratio <2. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 56:2624–2628, 2014
