abstract = "A compact, tuning-fork, microstrip-fed monopole antenna and a classical triangular patch antenna operating at 5.5 GHz for WiMAX and 5.2/5.8 GHz for WLAN and ISM are presented. The antenna fork features an arm with a slit, which improves the gain by 12% compared with fork antenna without slit. The antenna offers 1 GHz, 2:1 VSWR bandwidth. The proposed antenna has a compact size of 21 mm × 13 mm, resulting in a 65% area reduction compared with the classical quarter wave monopole antenna operating at the same frequency. The performance of the proposed antenna is compared with a classical triangular patch antenna operating at the same frequency. The monopole fork antenna obtained 35% area reduction compared to the triangular patch antenna. For all antennas, simulation and measurement data are compared. The antenna's compact size and low conductive area make it suitable for printed flexible circuit applications.",
