Abstract: In this manuscript a novel design of an asymmetric coplanar strip (ACS) fed UWB antenna with triple band notch facility is presented and discussed. The proposed antenna contains a combination of different radii of semi-circular patches in order toobtain ultrawideband (UWB) characteristics. The achieved UWB bandwidth ranges from 2.9 to 9.3 GHz. It’s compact and simple designs make it very useful for application with respect to UWB communication systems. Furthermore, modifications are made in the proposed UWB antenna to achieve band notch characteristics in order to remove the electromagnetic interference from the adjacent frequency bands. From the radiating monopole a combination of semi-circular and quarter circular slots are etched out to obtain triple notch bands at 3.1–3.8 GHz (WiMAX), 5.3–5.8 GHz (WLAN) and 6.9–7.5 GHz (higher C-band).
