In this paper an ultra-wideband monopole antenna with frequency band-stop performance is designed and manufactured. The proposed antenna consists of square radiating patch with two E-shaped slits and a ground plane with a protruded T-shaped strip inside the rectangular slot. In the proposed structure, by inserting a rectangular slot with a T-shaped strip protruded inside the slot on the ground plane, additional resonance is excited and hence, much wider impedance bandwidth can be produced, especially at the higher band. In order to create band-rejected function we use two E-shaped slits in the square radiating patch. The fabricated antenna has the frequency band of 3 GHz to over 12.7 GHz with a rejection band around 5 GHz – 6 GHz. Good VSWR and radiation pattern characteristics are obtained in the frequency band of interest. Simulated and measured results are presented to validate the usefulness of the proposed antenna structure for UWB applications
