Abstract:

This paper designs a triple-band L monopole planar antenna composed of three L monopole antennas,one of which is for the 3.5 GHz band,the longer one for the 2.4 GHz band and the shorter one for the 5 GHz band.This antenna is simpler in structure than other planar antennas designed for realizing triple-band characteristics.An electromagnetic (EM) model of the designed antenna is developed in HFSS for numerical analysis and optimization.The simulation results show that the antenna with Return Loss (S11) less than -10 dB at three resonance points that are 2.4 GHz,3.5 GHz and 5.8 GHz,respectively.The designed triple-band antenna is suitable for WLAN and WiMAX applications of communication system.

Key words: triple-band antenna;planar monopole;WLAN/WiMAX
