A practical miniaturized ultra‐wideband monopole antenna with a five‐section ground plane slit is proposed. The structure is a modification of a reference antenna designed with the two‐section ground plane slit and featuring the footprint area of 216 mm 2 . To reduce the antenna size, a ground plane modification was introduced in the form of a five‐section slit below the feeding line. Furthermore, all geometry parameters of the structure were simultaneously optimized. The final design exhibits a small size of only 22.5 × 7.9 mm 2 with footprint of 178 mm 2 and good electrical and field characteristics. Experimental validation and comparisons with recently reported designs are also provided.
