The design of a dual and triple‐band planar inverted‐F antenna (PIFA) is proposed for WLAN 802.11 a/b/g applications. Dual‐band operation is achieved by simply truncating one of the top rectangular radiating plate's corners, and wide bandwidth for the upper‐band is obtained by applying an additional small rectangular slit. By further extending the slit length, a triple‐band operation can also be achieved with a maximum gain of around 5 dBi. Simulated results are provided to validate the measured results. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
