Abstract

Abstract : A novel and compact tri‐band microstrip‐fed monopole antenna with dual‐polarisation characteristics for wireless local area network (WLAN) and worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) applications is proposed. The antenna is composed of a partial ground and a Y‐shaped radiating patch that consists of two unequal monopole arms and a modified circle monopole. The antenna is able to generate three separate impedance bandwidths to cover the frequency bands of the WLAN (2.4–2.484 and 5.8 GHz) and the WiMAX (3.4–3.7 GHz). In addition, the antenna is circularly polarised in both the WLAN bands. Furthermore, the antenna structure is extremely simple, durable and occupies small space, making it suitable for practical applications.
