A planar antenna for multiband operation is presented.The proposed microstrip‐fed antenna includes a slotted ground plane, a T‐shaped radiator, meandered and open circuit strips. A return loss of better than 10 dB is achieved at the frequency bands personal communication system (PCS) (1850–1990 MHz), UMTS (1920–2170 MHz), WiBro (2300–2390 MHz), WLAN + Bluetooth (2400–2480 MHz), WiMAX (2500–2690 MHz), and WiMAX (3400–3600 MHz). If a return loss of 6 dB is considered as a standard, the antenna can cover DCS (1710–1880 MHz). The proposed antenna occupies a small volume of 40 × 30 × 1.6 mm 3 , which makes it attractive to the portable devices. The simulated and measured performance of the antenna confirms its multiband operation and omnidirectional radiation pattern. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
