	<span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Ultra wide bands antennas with notched
bands characteristics have recently been considered for efficient communication
between devices. In this paper, a compact ultra-wideband antenna (UWB) for UWB
applications with triple bandnotched characteristics is presented. The proposed
antenna consists of a square patch with four truncated corners and a partial
ground plane with a rectangular slit. The operation bandwidth of the designed
antenna is from 2.66 GHz to more than 13.5 GHz. Band-notched characteristics of
