The proposed antenna is composed of a lip-shaped radiation patch being fed by a 50 Ω coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed line. The ground vertically continued to the two sides of the radiator. Thus, the substantial extra space adjacent to the radiator can be efficiently saved. The band rejection in the wireless local area networks (WLAN) (5.15-5.825GHz) is secured through etching the two symmetric C-shaped slots on ground plane to preclude interference between UWB and WLAN systems. The proposed antenna is of the size of 30×30×1.6 working within the range of 2.96 to 11.2 GHz with VSWR lower than 2 except  in 5.15-5.825GHz band. Finally, the antenna is simulated and fabricated with nearly omnidirectional radiation patterns, stable gain and constant group delay in the operating band. }, number={2}, journal={Majlesi Journal of Electrical Engineering}, publisher={OICC Press}, author={Bastani, Zahra and Honarvar, Mohammad Amin and Jabari, Masoud}, year={2024}, month={Feb.}, keywords={Ultra wideband (UWB), Coplanar waveguide (CPW), Microstrip Antenna, wireless local area network (WLAN). voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR)} }
