Abstract :
A design and performances of a single-layer U-slot MSA have been presented in this paper. The antenna was fabricated easily compared to the conventional two-layer U-slot MSA. The test antenna has good return loss, gain and radiation pattern characteristics at the four operating frequencies and demonstrates that it is a good candidate as a multiband planar antenna.
