This paper presents the wideband rectangular slot antenna with 3.5 GHz notched band. The designed antenna consists of radiating rectangular slot, an exciting semicircle patch with the CPW-Fed and two L shaped slits on the top plane of slot antenna, so the notched band was obtained. The proposed antenna can support a wide band frequency range which covers the WLAN/WiMAX standard. The two L shaped splits were rejecting the undesired resonant frequency at 3.5 GHz. The measured results shown that the designed antenna provided the two impedance bandwidths; the first band is from 2.15 – 3.40 GHz, the second band is from 3.60-7.72 GHz, and the band notching from 3.41– 3.59 GHz. The radiation patterns of designed antenna present omni-directional in xz plane and bi-directional in yz plane. Thus, the proposed antenna can be used efficiently for the WLAN/ WiMAX applications.
