Abstract

In this paper, a compact printed monopole antenna for multiband communication application is designed and investigated. The multiband functionality is achieved by the combination of a rectangular radiating element with a pair of symmetrical meandered resonators.The proposed antenna works efficiently (>86%) with an optimally matching (VSWR<2) and adequate gain in the desired frequency bands centered at 4.27 GHz, 4.85 GHz and 6.45 GHz respectively. The prototype of the antenna is fabricated to validate effectiveness of the proposed design. A good agreement between simulated and measured results is observed.
