- ABSTRACT In this paper, the design of a microstrip-fed monopole antenna with a wide slot ground plane for uwb applications is presented. A wide slot ground plane is inserted in the ground plane and etched. The substrate used is fr4 epoxy with a thickness of 1.6mm. The size of the antenna is 30*30mm, hence it’s a compact one. The trapezoidal patch placed on the upper surface of the substrate. The radiating strip connected to microstrip line feed tapered at one end. The simulation results shows that a return loss of less than-10dB and a VSWR value less than 1.58 through the band width 3 to 12.5 dB is obtained. The simulation software used is high frequency structural simulato
