The designed antenna has three characteristics. The proposed antenna is a multiband, having a compact size of 0.35\u03bb0 \u00d7 0.35\u03bb0 \u00d7 0.004\u03bb0 at its lowest operational frequency, i.e., 2.4 GHz, and more importantly, it can cover both the microwave and millimeter-wave bands with a single feeding. According to the \u221210 dB matching bandwidth, experimental results show that the antenna operates at (2.450\u20132.495) GHz, (5.0\u20136.3) GHz, and (23\u201328) GHz. The reduced size, simple design, and multiband large bandwidth are some of the advantages over the reported designs in the latest literature. Both simulated and experimental results show a good agreement, and the proposed antenna can be used for wireless local area network (WLAN) applications and fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication devices.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20216332","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,6]],"date-time":"2020-11-06T09:03:04Z","timestamp":1604653384000},"page":"6332","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["A Single-Fed Multiband Antenna for WLAN and 5G Applications"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Zakir","family":"Khan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Micro-\/Nano-Electronic System Integration Center, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230027, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3970-8925","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammad Hunain","family":"Memon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Micro-\/Nano-Electronic System Integration Center, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230027, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2479-0823","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Saeed Ur","family":"Rahman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Information Engineering, Nanjing University of Aeronautics &amp; Astronautic, Nanjing 211106, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6986-2747","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammad","family":"Sajjad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Information Engineering, Nanjing University of Aeronautics &amp; Astronautic, Nanjing 211106, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fujiang","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Micro-\/Nano-Electronic System Integration Center, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230027, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Liguo","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Micro-\/Nano-Electronic System Integration Center, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230027, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"505","DOI":"10.1049\/iet-map.2018.5646","article-title":"Analysis and design of compact triple-band meandered PIFA for 2.4\/5.2\/5.8 GHz WLAN","volume":"13","author":"Varma","year":"2019","journal-title":"IET Microw.
