Abstract
A planar antenna possessing multiband characteristics is numerically modeled and experimentally
characterized. The proposed antenna, 120 mm in height and 64 mm in width is fabricated, and the
obtained bandwidth covers the global system for mobile communication-GSM (890-960 MHz),
personal communication system (1850-1990 MHz), wireless local area network-WLAN
(2.45GHz) and TV cable band (includes VHF & UHF bands) respectively. Details of the
simulated design and obtained experimental results are presented and discussed. Furthermore,
demonstrations of two possible consumer applications at WLAN (2.45 GHz) and TV cable band
(UHF & VHF) are briefly explained.
