A novel compact fork-shaped ultrawideband (UWB) antenna with triple band-notched characteristics is proposed. By embedding a spade-shaped slot on the radiating patch as well as adding a separated strip and a C-shaped resonating structure on the front side of the reference UWB antenna, the triple notched frequency bands are realized. The measured impedance bandwidth defined by VSWR<2 of 7.8 GHz (3--10.8 GHz), with the triple notched bands of 3.3--3.7 GHz, 5.15--5.4 GHz, and 5.7--5.9 GHz, are obtained. The proposed antenna with an overall dimension of only 24×30 mm2 is successfully simulated, designed and measured, showing broadband matched impedance and stable radiation patterns.
