Abstract: This research paper presents an ACS fed antenna that operates at three frequency band. The compact size of antenna is taken as 𝟏𝟗 × 𝟏𝟎 × 𝟏. 𝟔 𝒎𝒎𝟑 , and the substrate is made up of FR4 material with effective dielectric constant=4.4. In the proposed ACS fed antenna, both ground plane and radiating patch are on the same plane (i.e. monopole), thus making it more compact and cheap compared to patch antenna. The feedline is in the shape of inverted-L and the radiating patch has shape of meandered structure along with square shaped ground in the front plane. The proposed antenna operates at frequencies 5.6, 8.2 and 12.6 GHz, hence covering the WLAN and X-band applications. The gain corresponding to these operating frequencies are -0.11, -0.44 and 4.02 dB respectively. The antenna geometry and its evolution stages (including parametric analysis) are dealt to study the optimization process of given antenna.
