A novel and compact ultra-wideband (UWB) printed monopole antenna with extended band-notched designs is presented. The antenna with a total size of 20 mm × 35 mm operates in a band from 3 to over 11 GHz (VSWR ≤ 2), and shows omnidirectional radiation with a low cross-polarization in the range of the operated band. Measured results indicate that the antenna presents a notched-band from 5.1 to 6 GHz for VSWR ≥ 3:1, which covers the wireless local area network (WLAN) band. The notched-band is produced by an embedded resonant cell (ERC). Experimental results show that the band-notched function can be controlled by adjusting the length of the ERC and area of the slot. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
