Triple-band antenna design for DVB-H/PCS/WLAN

In this paper, we have proposed triple-band antenna using matching circuit for DVB-H/PCS/WLAN applications. The antenna consists of a radiating patch, two folded open strips, and matching circuit. The matching circuit has two chip capacitors and one chip inductor. Two folded open strips are used to obtain the resonances at PCS/WLAN bands. The proposed antenna was designed, fabricated, and measured. Good radiation characteristics have been observed over the operating frequency bands. Details of the proposed antenna design and the simulated and measured results are presented and discussed.
