In this paper,a novel compact monopole ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with a notched ground is presented. To increase the impedance bandwidth,a notched ground is introduced. The parameters and the characteristics of the antenna are given. It shows good characteristics for UWB,and it satisfies the VSWR requirement of less than 2.0 in the frequency band from 2.55 GHz to more than 13 GHz. The measured radiation patterns show good omnidirectional performance and antenna gains across the operation bandwidth.
