Development of small integrated antennas has played a crucial role in the current rapid progress of commercial wireless communication technology. Incorporating different radio standards, which supports various voice and data applications to a single wireless hand-held device, has now become the need of the hour. Quarter wavelength patch antennas are low profile antennas suitable for such applications. In this paper, two single-feed triple-band quarter wavelength antennas, PIFA and shorted patch antenna, having multi-band capability, are experimentally investigated and characterized. Different specifications of both the antennas are software simulated and experimentally tested. All simulations are performed using CST microwave studio.
