A method to increase the bandwidth of planar monopoles is presented. Following the provided design criteria, a simple rectangular‐shaped monopole is fit to operate at ultra‐wide‐band (UWB) frequency. The process involves two steps: (i) optimizing the perimeter and feeding dimensions and (ii) conducting a suitable slot. This causes the difference between the upper and lower frequency limits to nearly double. The exhibited bandwidth ratio is 1:3.75. The measured radiation patterns are presented and observed to be stable.
