Abstract In this article, a novel design of printed coplanar waveguide‐fed monopole antenna is proposed for triple‐band WiMAX applications. At first, we investigate the printed dual‐band monopole antenna for dual‐band operation with two bands of 2.37–3.64 GHz and 5.2–6 GHz. Since the lower band (2.5–2.7 GHz) is quite near the middle band (3.3–3.8 GHz) band of WiMAX resulted in large coupling effect or interference between these two bands; we need band‐rejected function to suppress the undesired frequency‐bands. Then, using the two narrow strips etched from printed dual‐band monopole antenna, an antenna design of WiMAX is achieved. The low cost, easy manufacture, good impedance match, good radiation patterns of the proposed antenna are also investigated in this article. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
