A multi‐polarised quad‐band planar circular disc monopole antenna consisting of a parasitic double T‐stub and parasitic long and short inverted L‐stubs is presented. By loading parasitic multistubs along the y ‐axis behind a circular patch, the antenna can yield four resonance modes at 2.5, 4.5, 5.7, and 7.7 GHz frequencies while keeping the size of 30 × 40 mm 2 . The proposed antenna has been fabricated and experimentally studied. The measured impedance bandwidths of 290 MHz (2.36–2.65 GHz), 540 MHz (4.28–4.82 GHz), 530 MHz (5.47–6.0 GHz), and 780 MHz (7.28–8.06 GHz), for Bluetooth, 2.4/5.8 GHz wireless local area network, 2.5/5.5 GHz worldwide interoperability for microwave access, 5.9 GHz intelligent transportation systems (ITS), downlink of Indian National Satellite System and X‐band satellite applications. The 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth is 280 MHz (5.79–6.07 GHz) for the 5.9 GHz ITS band. The antenna E‐field radiation has y ‐directed (vertical linear) polarisation at first, second, third resonance bands and slant + 45° linear polarisation at the fourth resonance band. At the ITS band, the E‐field radiation has right‐handed circular polarisation. In addition, the design procedure, electrical model and effects of parasitic stub dimensions on the antenna characteristics are discussed.
