In this letter, three microstrip antennas are designed and fabricated for coal mine applications, each of which can be compatible with WiMAX, WiFi, 4G, and 5G NR bands. The first one is the Pentagon antenna, which is realized by optimizing the sizes and positions of five branches. The second one is designed by adding a passive inverted L-shaped branch on the top of a trident antenna.
