Abstract :
In this paper, a tri-band antenna for wireless communication applications is presented. The antenna is composed of two different elements, that are an inverted-L monopole operating at 5.2 and 5.8 GHz and a coupled modified half-wavelength open-loop resonator operating at both 2.4 GHz and 3.5 GHz to cover the required bandwidth for IEEE 802.11a/b/g WLAN and IEEE 802.16e. The proposed antenna has the properties of good performance, small size, low profile, and low cost, which is thus suitable for practical applications in the multi-band wireless communication systems.
