Abstract :
This paper presents a single feed small size multi-frequency band antenna. The antenna is composed of several folded conducting strips and an L-shaped ground plane. Simulated and measured results show that in addition to a lower frequency band for 700 MHz band wireless applications, the antenna can operate at higher frequency bands of GSM/800/900/1800/1900 and UMTS 2100 and the antenna feature high radiation efficiency with compact size.
