Abstract-In this paper, the design of a multiband antenna for WLAN and WiMAX applications is proposed. The proposed antenna comprises a circular radiating patch with a pair of rectangular slits and an inverted U-shaped slot. A hexagon-shaped slot is cut on the ground plane. By adjusting the inverted U-shaped slot, a pair of rectangular slits, and a hexagon-shaped slot, three distinct resonance frequencies centered at 2.4 GHz, 3.52 GHz, and 5.68 GHz can be generated. The measurements show that the proposed antenna can cover three frequency bands with sufficient bandwidth. The proposed antenna exhibits an omnidirectional radiation pattern and acceptable gain. The overall dimension of the proposed antenna is 25 × 39 × 1.59 mm 3 .
