ABSTRACT This article presents a metamaterial‐based tri‐band antenna for WiMAX (2.5/3.5/5.5 GHz) and WLAN (5.2/5.8 GHz) application. The antenna comprises of a metallic patch of area 22 mm × 14 mm on the top of a substrate. The patch is etched with a T‐shaped slot and meandered lines. At the bottom of substrate we have a partial, rectangular shaped ground plane along with an electric‐inductive‐capacitive resonator. The proposed antenna gives a desired impedance bandwidth along with an omnidirectional radiation pattern. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 58:558–561, 2016
