A compact planar integrated ultra-wideband (UWB) and Bluetooth antenna are presented in this study. The basic radiator is circular in shape with a wide slit in it to accommodate a space optimised T-shaped stub for Bluetooth frequency band. The proposed antenna is CPW-fed with bevelled ground planes for the purpose of improvement in input impedance matching. A novel multimode resonator at the back of the substrate is responsible for the creation of two-notched band at 5.5 and 8.1 GHz. The antenna exhibits an operational bandwidth of 3.–12 GHz for UWB application. The proposed antenna also has Bluetooth resonance characteristics at 2.4 GHz. The overall size of the antenna is 14 × 32 × 1.59 mm3. The antenna has a peak realised gain of 4 dBi and a constant group delay. The radiation pattern is also stable throughout the operational bandwidth. A fabricated prototype is developed and tested. Results obtained from electromagnetic simulation, equivalent circuit model, and measurement are in good agreement.
