“…To achieve multiband operations for compact antennas, different techniques using planar technology have been investigated. Many methodologies were employed including different slot shapes [14,15,16], fractal ground [17,18,19,20], split ring resonators [21,22,23,24], shorting walls, and exploiting the fundamental and higher modes of the antenna [25]. A challenging issue for the wireless communications applications is the design and development of miniaturized multiband antennas [26].…”
