Abstract: A frequency notched ultra-wideband planar slot antenna is presented. By introducing a modified fractal-shaped slot to the patch, a notched band within a wide operation bandwidth is achieved. The designed antenna satisfies the voltage standing wave ratio requirement of less than 2.0 in the frequency band from 3.01 to 13 GHz above while showing the band rejection performance about 500 MHz in the frequency band of 5.59 to 6.09 GHz. Simulation and measurement results are presented for the proposed antenna. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
