Abstract-An open L-slot antenna with triple-band operation for WLAN and WiMAX applications has been designed and implemented with a slit and a strip, which can be used to generate two band-rejected characteristics. Both the strip and the slit play a very important role in suppressing the dispensable bands. By adjusting the dimensions of the slit and strip, the proposed antenna shows three separated operating frequencies with a bandwidth of 14% from 2.24 to 2.58 GHz, a bandwidth of 19% from 3.02 to 3.66 GHz, and a bandwidth of 10% from 5.62 to 6.21 GHz, respectively. Detailed designs and experimental results are reported in this paper.
