In this paper an efficient penta-band microstripfed slot antenna with a compact size of 38×19 mm 2 is presented for wireless applications. Each band can be controlled in a wide range by variation of only one dimension parameter whereas other bands remain unchanged. Variation ranges are from 2.3 to 2.62 GHz for f 1 , 4.25 to 4.76 GHz for f 2 , 5.7 to 6.35 GHz for f 3 , 6.72 to 7.35 GHz for f 4 and 7.55 to 8.35 GHz for f 5 . Also a measured bandwidth of 130 MHz (%5.3 at 2.47 GHz) is achieved for the first resonance.Index Terms-penta-band antenna, independent band control, ridged stub.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
