Abstract :
This paper presents a novel quad-band omni-directional patch antenna supporting a maximum of four operational sub-bands, with the inherent capability to enhance or eliminate the resonances of interest. The antenna has a single port and its cavity-backed waveguide-like configuration results in minimum mutual coupling levels. The antenna also features a compact and simple structure that is suitable for low-cost mass production.
