This Paper presents the design of compact wide band monopole antenna a for Wi-MAX application. The proposed antenna radiates at a bandwidth which meet the requirements of Wi-MAX standards. It uses the easily available low cost FR4 substrate, which makes the antenna cost effective. The antenna structures consist of set of I shaped slits at appropriate locations to produce notch at 3.5GHz with wide bandwidth. The measured results reveal that the proposed compact wide band monopole antenna offers a wide bandwidth of 500 MHz, covering the entire 3.4 GHz-3.6 GHz WiMAX band.

It uses the easily available low cost FR4 substrate, which makes the antenna cost effective. The antenna structures consist of set of I shaped slits at appropriate locations to produce notch at 3.5GHz with wide bandwidth. The measured results reveal that the proposed compact wide band monopole antenna offers a wide bandwidth of 500 MHz, covering the entire 3.4 GHz-3.6 GHz WiMAX band.
