Abstract
A triple-band patch antenna operating at 0.9, 1.8 and 2.4 GHz is presented. The triple-band characteristic is realized by using a radiating patch and two meander lines achieved by embedding slots in its radiating patch. According to the current distribution of the radiating patch, the locations of two meander lines are chosen. The proposed antenna has the advantages of the easy control of each resonant frequency and relatively simple antenna structure. The measured -10 dB impedance bandwidths are 30, 40, and 30 MHz at 0.9, 1.8, and 2.4 GHz, respectively. The simulated and measured radiation patterns and gains are also presented and discussed.
