This paper presents a novel CPW-fed band-notched UWB antenna for the 3.5 GHz wireless local area network (WiMAX) applications. The prototype consists of planar diamond shaped monopole and ground plane. By inserting a novel coupling band-notched filter, which consists of an isosceles trapezoid slot in the radiation patch and a same sized isosceles trapezoid patch on the back of the substrate, with the slot connecting to the patch below through shorting hole, band-rejected filtering property in the WiMAX band is achieved. The proposed antenna is successfully designed with broadband matched impedance, good radiation patterns and constant group delay.
