AbstractMany techniques have been proposed to design microstrip patch antennas with multiband characteristics. In the proposed antenna design, a combination of dual U-slot and multiple layers is used to get multiple bands and wide bandwidth. A multiband triple-layer probe fed double U-slot microstrip patch antenna for next generation wireless applications is proposed in this paper. Parametric studies of antenna structure with double U-slot, variation of feed position, and also with multiple layers are presented. The proposed antenna is fabricated and tested. The simulation and experimental results are presented. The proposed antenna provides triple bands at 1.6GHz, 1.9GHz and 3.8GHz and a bandwidth of 600MHz for a substrate thickness of 1.6mm and 1.8GHz, 2.2GHz and 4.8GHz and a bandwidth of 800MHz for a substrate of 0.6mm thickness
