A novel compact bowtie slotted circular patch antenna with quad-band notched characteristics is demonstrated in this work. The presented prototype is ascertained on FR-4 substrate. Initially, an Ultra-Wideband (3.1-10.6 GHz) antenna is achieved. Later, undesirable bands between 3.55-5.16, 5.52-5.73, 6.44-6.78 and 7.61-10.6 GHz are eliminated by incorporating slots in the patch. By proper optimization of the patch as well as ground plane, four resonant bands are achieved between 2.56-3.53, 5.22-5.5, 5.7-6.4 and 6.81-7.53 GHz supporting LTE2500, WiMAX, WLAN, and X-band applications. For good impedance matching, the antenna employs a very unique bat-shaped defected ground plane structure. The peak gain of 3.7 dB is obtained by the proposed radiator. A good agreement is observed between the measured and simulated results.
