A novel coplanar waveguide-fed ultra-wideband antenna with triple band-notched function centred at 3.5, 5.5 and 7.5 GHz is proposed. It has small size of 26 × 26 mm2. This antenna consists of an elliptical radiator and a square ground plane with an elliptical slot on one side of the substrate. Besides, two circles with a radius of 2 mm were dug from the edge of the outer ellipse to realise the bandwidth requirement. To avoid interference from Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, a single open-ended elliptical arc-shaped slot was etched on the top side of the ground. Moreover, another elliptical arc-shaped slot notched at wireless local area network band was etched on the elliptical radiator and two systemically C-shaped slots working at 7.3–7.7 GHz was embedded on the structure. Measured voltage standing wave ratio shows the working frequency range was from 3.1 to 13.5 GHz except for notched bands of 3.35–3.8, 5.1–5.9 and 7.35–7.8 GHz.
