A printed triple‐band monopole antenna appropriate for use as a terminal antenna in modern wireless multiband systems is proposed. The impedance bandwidth of each band has been optimised using a quasi‐Newton technique and the bandwidth includes virtually all wireless bands. Various parameter sweeps are presented which improve our understanding of the antenna, in particular, the effect of groundplane‐size and branch‐off point on impedance bandwidth and radiation pattern. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
