Abstract :
In this paper, a compact multifunctional antenna capable of operating at three separate frequency band is presented. Three sub level antennas are designed on the same ground plane layer and additional techniques are applied to achieve a wide band operation for each frequency band. In what follows, the antenna design process is first described and then the measurement results are presented and discussed.
