Abstract

A penta-band printed monopole antenna based on a hexagonal open loop shape is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna demonstrated a variety in the polarization. Antenna is loaded with some parts and two stair-shaped slits is created in the partial ground plane for enhancing the multiband behavior. A circularly polarized (CP) waves are generated at a three bands with impedance bandwidths (IBWs) of 10.62%, 33.65% and 8.61% centered at 1.60, 5.20 and 6.50 GHz and 3-dB axial ratio bandwidths (ARBWs) of 9.10%, 7.58%, and 4.41% respectively. While a linearly polarized (LP) waves at the other two bands over ranges (2.51-2.64GHz) and (3.10-3.31GHz). Besides, the proposed antenna showed a different sense of circular polarization; right hand, left hand, and right hand. The antenna is simulated and fabricated on an FR-4 (glass epoxy) substrate with relative permittivity of 4.6, thickness of 1.6 mm and a loss tangent of 0.02.The properties of multiband and circular polarization, makes the proposed antenna candidates for many modern wireless applications..
