A novel meandered planar inverted‐F antenna with a single feed is presented for triple‐frequency operation. Using two shorting strips, good impedance matching is achieved in three bands. This compact low‐profile design shows characteristics of near‐omnidirectional radiation patterns with minimal hand effects, which is preferable for application in wireless communications. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
