  • Abstract
    In this paper the effects of changing the thickness of the rings and height from the ground on the return loss of the multiple ring monopole antenna are presented. It is experimentally shown that the changing of the thickness of the rings causes a frequency shift at the fourth and the fifth bands but it does not have a significant effect on the lower bands. In addition, better matching at higher frequency bands can be obtained for smaller height from the ground plane but it does not affect on the lower frequency bands
