Summary: 
A small microstrip-fed monopole antenna using an L-shaped notch is presented for ultra wideband applications. The proposed antenna, with compact size of 15.521 mm2 including the ground plane, is designed to operate over the frequency band between 3.05 and 10.9 GHz for S11 < -10 dB. Good return loss and radiation pattern characteristics are obtained in the frequency band of interest.
