This paper presents an ultra-wideband tapered slot patch antenna with bi-directional radiation, reconfigurable for dual band-notched capability and fed by coplanar waveguide. The proposed antenna showed excellent ultra-wideband characteristics with bandwidth of (1.9–12 GHz). In order to reduce the interference of the narrow band communications represented by Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access radiation in the range (3.4–3.9) GHz and standard IEEE 802.11a. application (from 5.1 GHz to 6.1 GHz), the antenna was accompanied with adjustable dual-stop band capability in these bands. The dual-band notches are achieved with aid of inserting a parasitic single split ring resonator and etching a single circular complementary circle split ring resonator. The proposed antenna used epoxy (FR4) substrate material with ????r= 4.4 and dimensions of .
