Abstract: In this article, a folded monopole antenna loaded with complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs) is proposed for tri‐band applications. The two bands of the antenna are generated by the folding of the monopole (first band is caused due to fundamental mode and another due to higher order mode) and CSRRs have been responsible for the third band. By using four such antennas in form of an array, the gain and bandwidth have been improved. The prototype of the antenna array is developed on FR4 substrate and simulated results are experimentally validated. A simplified equivalent circuit model of the antenna has been developed and analyzed to quantify the power loss due to input impedance mismatch at each resonance frequency. By using the EM model of the proposed antenna in the Keysight ADS verification test bench its suitability to operate in the system environment has been confirmed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
