A new microstrip patch antenna for mobile communications and bluetooth applications

Abstract

Abstract A compact multiband planar octagonal‐shaped microstrip antenna simultaneously suitable for mobile communication and blue tooth application is presented. The antenna provides sufficient isolation between the two operating bands and an area reduction of ≈29 % with respect to a circular patch operating in the same band. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
