A compact wideband antenna consisting of a L-shaped radiating element which has a modified inverted-F structure and a C-shaped parasitic radiating element on the ground is proposed. Three resonant frequencies and a very wide operating band are obtained. A prototype of the proposed antenna has been constructed and experimentally studied. The measured results show that the operating bandwidth with 10 dB return loss is about 2.9 GHz (2.11–5.01 GHz), 81.46%, respectively, covering LTE2500 (2.5–2.69 GHz), 2.4 GHz WLAN and 2.5/3.5 GHz WiMAX bands. Furthermore, the antenna has a simple planar structure and small volume of only 30×30×1.6 mm3. Good radiation characteristics and acceptable peak gains are obtained over the operating bands.
