Abstract :
A compact single-feed multiband planar antenna configuration suitable for GPS, DCS, 2.4/5.8 GHz WLAN applications is presented. The antenna has dimensions 38×3×1.6 mm and offers good radiation and reflection characteristics in the above frequency bands. The antenna has a simple geometry and can be easily fed using a 50 Ω coaxial probe.
