Abstract
A novel compact multi-band microstrip antenna is proposed in this paper. The antenna structure is made to resonate at multiple
frequencies by introducing two small rectangular strips attached vertically at the edge of a conventional rectangular patch
antenna. The designed antenna resonates at S and C bands. The final optimized dimensions of the basic rectangular patch
antenna are 40 x 15 mm and two rectangular strip lines are spaced at 2.5 mm with different dimensions. The simulated antenna
shows that the return loss of the proposed antenna at resonant modes are lower than -10 dB. For multi-band applications, the
simulation results provide good performance in term of return loss as well as radiation pattern.

3. SIMULATION RESULTS
RT/Duroid 5880 planar substrate with a 1.57 mm thickness
is used. A standard 50 microstrip probe fed is used to
excite the multiple resonant bands, with good matching. The
feeding point is set up at the optimized point from the
ground plane.

4. CONCLUSIONS
In this paper, we have successfully exhibited a new
conception of the rectangular antenna structure with two
strip lines attached for S and C band frequencies. Finally,
the proposed antenna has been simulated to perform the WiMAX and WLAN applications.
