Summary:
Printed polygonal slot antenna fed by a 50-Ωmicrostrip line with two narrow strips for three-band operation is proposed and experimentally studied. We find the polygonal slot antenna is a broadband effect (1.85GHz~5.83GHz), then, we inserted two narrow strips into the polygonal slot antenna to rejected two bands. By properly choosing the length and location of the two narrow strips, the triple bands of WiMAX can be achieved. The good impedance matching, good radiation patterns, and antenna gain of the proposed antenna are investigated in this paper. The design of the proposed antenna is suitable for WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) applications.
