In this paper, a very compact dual band notched planar monopole antenna for ultrawideband (UWB) application is presented. By
inserting a pair of symmetric rectangular-shaped slot on the ground plane (GND), additional resonances are excited, and hence the bandwidth
is increased up to 148% (2.54-17 GHz). Then, by embedding a C-shaped slot on the radiation patch and inserting inverted L-shaped strips
along sides of the radiation patch, dual band notched for WIMAX (3-4.1 GHz) and WLAN (5-5.9 GHz) applications is obtained. The
designed antenna has a very compact size of 15×17×1 mm3and cover the frequency band of 2.54-17 GHz with VSWR<2. The VSWR,
radiation patterns and peak gain of the proposed antenna are presented and discussed in detail.
