Abstract

A compact rectangular microstrip antenna working in triple band for WLAN/WIMAX application is proposed. The
three working frequencies of antenna are 2.4/3.2/3.5 GHz covering WLAN/WIMAX bands. IEEE WLAN protocol 802.11 b/g
employs 2.4 GHz and WIMAX 3.5 GHz. The antenna is simulated using HFSS 14.0 antenna design software. Wide band
characteristics in proposed design is due to various slots present in the design. The designed antenna achieves good impedance
matching, return loss ( > -10dB ), good radiation pattern and consistent gain at all three operating band. The overall
dimensions of the antenna are 29.44 mm*38.04 mm*1.6 mm and it is printed on FR4 substrate of dielectric constant 4.4.
