A compact microstrip multiband antenna on a
modified ground plane which can operate over the bands starting
from 900 MHz to 5.35 GHz which includes the GSM (880-960)
GPS (1568-1592 MHz), DCS (1710-1880 MHz), and PCS (1850-
1990 MHz). UMTS (1920-2170 MHz), IEEE 802.11 b/g (2400-
2484) and WLAN IEEE 802.11a band (5.15-5.35) is reported in
this paper. The overall dimension of the antenna is 33 x 33 mm2
including the top patch with a dimension 22 x 22 mm2. The
experimental results of the antenna are presented in this paper.
The results confirm that the antenna exhibits wide band
characteristics and covers 7 bands of operation
