For the exchange of high data rate information, wide band antennas are needed and their usage increased tremendously now a days. A compact antenna of size 22mm x 26mm x 1.6mm is proposed with serrated radiating patch and ground fed by Coplanar Waveguide Feedline (CPW). The proposed antenna concedes a wide bandwidth from 3.2 GHz to 10.8 GHz with return loss less than -10dB, VSWR less than 2 and has Omni directional radiation pattern with good radiation efficiency in the operating bandwidth. The proposed antenna is simulated using FEM based Ansoft HFSSv13 and the results are analyzed.
