A new microstrip‐fed triple band antenna is presented for satisfying wireless local area network (WLAN) and worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) applications simultaneously. The antenna comprises a rectangular monopole fed by a microstrip transmission line to generate WLAN and WiMAX frequency bands and a circular disc monopole to resonate in 3.5 GHz WiMAX frequency band. A simple formula for calculating the resonant frequency is given. The antenna is simple in configuration outlining an overall dimension of 44 × 20 × 0.76 mm 3 . The measured 10 dB bandwidth for return loss is from 2.37 to 2.7, 3.23 to 3.70, and 4.29 to 6.58 GHz for WiMAX and WLAN applications. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
