Abstract: A Triple frequency printed patch antenna for the wireless communication systems has been proposed in this paper. Proposed antenna radiates at the frequencies of 8.96GHz, 14.25GHz and 18.78GHz which are useful in Maritime applications. Low cost glass epoxy FR4 substrate has been used to design the antenna. The overall dimension of the antenna is 14.3mm×14.3mm×2mm. Microstrip line feed is used to feed the patch antenna. A considerable gain of 5.64dB, 4.25dB and 4.04dB for the operating frequencies of 8.96GHz, 14.25GHz and 18.78GHz and respectively. The antenna structure consists of two symmetrical slots which are useful for the multiple resonance and for proper impedance matching.
