N2 - A small and compact triple-band microstrip-fed printed monopole antenna for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is presented. The proposed antenna consists of a rectangular radiating patch with L- and U-shaped slots and ground plane. A parametric study on the lengths of the U- and L-shaped slots of the proposed antenna is provided to obtain the required operational frequency bands—namely, WLAN (2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz) and WiMAX (2.5/3.5/5.5 GHz). The proposed antenna is small (15 x 15 x 1.6 mm3) when compared to previously well-known double- and triple-band monopole antennas. The simulation and measurement results show that the designed antenna is capable of operating over the 2.25–2.85, 3.4–4.15, and 4.45–8 GHz frequency bands while rejecting frequency ranges between these three bands. Omnidirectional radiation pattern and acceptable antenna gain are achieved over the operating bands.
