Abstract :
In this paper a compact multiband planar antenna for GPS (1575.4 MHz), DCS (1800 MHz), 2.4 GHz (2400-2485 MHz) and 5.8 GHz (5725-5825 MHz) WLAN is presented. The proposed antenna of dimensions 38 mm times 3 mm times 1.6 mm with three wide 2:1 VSWR bands around 1.8 GHz, 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz successfully covers the above bands with good radiation and reflection characteristics. Details of the proposed antenna design and experimental results are presented and discussed
