In this letter, a hexa‐band printed monopole antenna composed of various L‐shape radiating elements is presented for various wireless applications. The antenna is designed to fully cover the CDMA (870–890 MHz), GSM (900–1800 MHz), DCS (1710–1880 MHz), PCS (1900 MHz), LTE‐E/LTE‐D (2300–2800 MHz), and WLAN (2.45/5.8 GHz) frequency bands. The proposed antenna achieves a gain of 1.8 dB, 3.17 dB, 3.23 dB, and 5.82 dB at respective bands. Fabrication of the antenna is completed on Rogers RT‐5880 high frequency laminate with a finite ground plane having a rectangular slot on the other side of the substrate. The antenna is realized via standard printed circuit board (PCB) technology and its performance is validated by measurements in terms of s‐parameters and radiation characteristics.
