In this paper, a novel monopole antenna for WLAN/WiMAX application is presented. The proposed antenna consists of two arc-shaped strips, a vertical strip, and a slot in the ground plane. In this study, a prototype of the proposed triple-band antenna was designed, fabricated, and tested. The quantitative and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed antenna satisfy the -10 dB impedance bandwidth requirement of 440 MHz for 2.4/2.5 GHz bands (from 2.26 to 2.70 GHz), 970 MHz for 3.5 GHz bands (from 3.27 to 4.24 GHz), and 870 MHz for the GHz bands (from 5.08 to 5.95 GHz), while simultaneously covering the WLAN and WiMAX bands. In addition, the presented triple-band antenna has an omnidirectional radiation pattern at all three frequency bands with an antenna gain of 4.45 dBi for the lowest band, 2.04 dBi for the middle band, and 3.98 dBi for the highest band.

In this paper, a microstrip-fed triple-band monopole antenna for WLAN/WiMAX applications was proposed. The proposed antenna is consist of two arc-shaped and one strip line structure, then get the three current path and then designed in order to get triple resonant characteristics. We carried out simulation about parameters. Taking account of coupling effect, Adjusted the length of the two arc-shaped and one strip line, we get the optimized parameters. The proposed antenna is fabricated on an FR-4 substrate, the dielectric constant is 4.4, and total size is $23.5mm(W1){\times}32.0mm(L1){\times}1.0mm(t)$, and its proposed antenna size is $21.0mm(W6){\times}31.0mm(L7)$. From the measured results, return loss of the proposed antenna satisfied return loss 927 MHz (1.844~2.771 GHz), 926 MHz (3.33~4.256 GHz), and 1,415 MHz (5.13~6.545 GHz). And measured results of gain and radiation patterns displayed for operating bands.

The design, fabrication, and an experimental implementation of the strip patch antenna coupled with a H-shaped aperture arc presented in this paper. The proposed antenna has the wide bandwidth, high gain, and low cross-polarization levels. We measured the VSWR, smith chart impedance characteristic, co/cross polarization pattern, gain, and so on. The measured bandwidth of this antenna is 47.1 %. To reduce the back lobe and increase the gain, when the reflector is used, cross polarization level is below -18.2dB at E-plane and below 25.7 dB at H -plane. The maximum gain at 2.05 GHz is also 10.4 dBi and the 3 dB gain bandwidth with center frequency at 2.17 GHz is 24 %, which is the wide bandwidth. This antenna can find applications in mobile communication, wireless LAN, RF communication system, and so on.
