A novel trident-shaped dual-band CPW-fed monopole antenna for PCS/WLAN applications is presented. By inserting two pairs of symmetrical strips in the middle strip of the trident-shaped antenna, dual-frequency operating bands with 10 dB return-loss bandwidths of 33.7%, ranging from 1.80 to 2.53 GHz, and of about 1100 MHz centred at 5.5 GHz have been achieved. They cover the required bandwidths of the PCS band (1.85-1.99 GHz) and WLAN bands (2.4-2.484 and 5.15-5.825 GHz). Also, good radiation patterns, and 3.6 and 9.1 dBi peak antenna gains for the lower (2.2 GHz) and upper (5.5 GHz) bands have been measured. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
