Abstract A compact triple band antenna with stacked T-shaped strips inside a rectangular ring monopole has been proposed. This novel structure slot in the defected ground achieves opration i.e. 2.47–2.77 GHz, 3.3–3.7 GHz and 5.10–6.62 GHz. These bands find application important wireless communication standards like WiMAX (3.3–3.8 5.25–5.85 WLAN (2.4 G-2.5 5.1–5.3 5.72–5.85 GHz). The is printed ...
