Printed Monopole Antennas for Multiband Applications

In this paper, we have investigated printed rectangular monopole antennas, which is basically a printed microstrip antenna with etched ground plane for multi-band applications. In particular, we have fabricated and tested printed rectangular monopole antennas for dual-band and penta-band applications. It has been observed that printed rectangular monopole antennas are small in size and simple in design and fabrication but its performance is very good for multiband applications.
