A novel quad band antenna for wireless application

A printed quad band microstrip antenna is presented in this paper. The proposed microstrip-fed antenna consists of a circular ring connected to a slotted square with two arc shaped arms operates in the 1990 MHz Personal Communication System(PCS) band, 3.5/5.5 GHz worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) bands, 6–7 GHz Satellite communication bands. The antenna has dimensions of 38×25×1.59 mm3. The proposed antenna is simulated with HFSS software and achieved good impedance bandwidth, directional radiation pattern and improved peak gain in the all four operating frequency bands.
