In this article, a new multiband planar monopole antenna for mobile devices application is presented. The proposed antenna operation is on the basis of using two radiation spiral strips and two slots on the ground plane. This antenna covers eight standard frequency bands including: GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900, UMTS, WiBro, Bluetooth, WiMax, and WLAN. It occupies the area of 40 mm × 18 mm excluding the ground plane. A prototype of this antenna has been fabricated and its parameters have been measured. There is a good agreement between the measured and simulated results. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
