Summary:
A small size (15 × 35 × 0.8 mm3) coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed monopole antenna design with triple-band operation for WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) and WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) applications is proposed. The basic structure of this proposed design is a simple uniplanar C-shaped monopole loaded with two additional brand strips. From the measured results, the 10-dB impedance bandwidths of the three operating bands (fL, fM, and fH) are 23.17% (2.175?2.745 GHz), 15.04% (3.32?3.86 GHz), and 37.91% (4.895?7.185 GHz), respectively. Furthermore, the three operating bands have also yielded peak gain and radiation efficiency of more than 0.69 dBi and 65%.
