| Summary: | A miniaturized triple band monopole antenna with a small size is proposed and its
performance is investigated both numerically and experimentally for worldwide interoperability for
microwave access (WiMAX) and wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. The three resonance
frequencies are realized by using a toothbrush-shaped patch (TSP), a meander line (ML), and
an inverted U-shaped patch (IUSP). The center frequencies of the triple bands can be controlled by
adjusting the dimensions of the TSP, ML, and IUSP. Simulated and measured results are presented to
demonstrate that the proposed triband monopole antenna with a good impedance bandwidth and omnidirectional
radiation patterns is well suitable for WLAN and WiMAX communication applications. |
