In this article, a novel and compact ultra-wideband (UWB) slot antenna with bandnotched function is presented. This antenna consist of a square radiating stub, a 50? microstrip feedline, a ground plane with a pair of rotated Tshaped strips protruded inside square slots and a Split Ring Resonator (SRR) conductor-backed plane. In this design, by cutting a pair of modified square slots with rotated T-shaped strips protruded inside slots, additional resonance is excited and hence much wider impedance bandwidth can be produced. In order to achieve a band-notched function, an SRR parasitic structure was inserted in the ground plane. The measured results show that the proposed antenna can achieve the Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) requirement of less than 2.0 in frequency range from 3.1 GHz to 13.15 GHz, with band-rejection performance of 5.08 GHz to 6 GHz, to avoid interference from WLAN communications. The presented microstrip-fed slot antenna exhibits good radiation behavior. The antenna has a small size.
