This paper presents a design for trapezoidal planar UWB(Ultra Wide-band) antenna using symmetry meander line to realize broad bandwidth at low frequency region. The size of proposed design antenna is $15.5{\times}21{\times}1.6mm^3$ and dielectric substrate considered in design has 4.4 of relative permittivity. The calculated bandwidth is from 1.31 GHz to 10.83 GHz and the measured return loss is 1.5 GHz to 10.6 GHz at -10 dB below, and satisfies with the UWB antenna's bandwidth. The simulated and measured radiation patterns show fine agreement with each other at each frequency.
