The present paper reports on the simulation, construction and measurement of a planar Ultra Wideband (UWB) monopole antenna designed to operate inside a Universal Serial Bus (USB) dongle, aiming at usage in industrial applications. Inexpensive FR4 substrate with r = 4.4 and 0.8 mm thickness was used and the antenna shape and dimensions fit in a common case. The built antenna prototype was tested inside a USB device case in free space and in a realistic antenna deployment scenario, with the dongle connected to a laptop computer. It was found that the designed antenna exhibits acceptable |S11| matching in the frequency range [2.5; 12] GHz, allowing its usage in UWB and other wireless services such as Bluetooth, LTE and IEEE 802.11.
