%0 Journal Article %T Multi-segment Printed Monopole Antenna for Multi- band Wireless Communication %A Sumana Kumari %A Nisha Gupta %J Microwave Review %D 2011 %I Society for Microwave Technique, Technologies and Systems, Serbia and Montenegro IEEE MTT-S Chapter %X A novel planar monopole antenna capable of multi-band operation is proposed. The proposed antenna has eight segment planar rectangular radiation patches placed on a baseline segment, fed by a CPW-feed. The proposed structures cover the useful bands such as IEEE 802.11 a, b, etc. Details of the proposed design along with the simulation and experimental results obtained are presented and discussed. %K Co-planar waveguide feed %K Multi-band Wireless %K Scan angle %K Reconfigurable antenna %K Reflection Coefficient %U http://www.mtt-serbia.org.rs/microwave_review/pdf/Vol17No2_08_SKumari.pdf
