This research proposes a new planar hexaband antenna for compact wireless USB dongles. A folded meander-patch and a monopole element are employed to generate multiple broadband resonances supporting WiBro, WLAN, Bluetooth, 2.5/3.5 GHz WiMAX, and S-DMB bands. This novel hexaband antenna, built into a compact USB dongle, measures only 10x50x1 mm(3). The measured 10 dB return loss bandwidths of the fabricated antenna are 21.1% (2.29-2.83 GHz), 11.6% (3.25-3.65 GHz), and 20.2% (5.13-6.28 GHz). The radiation efficiency and gain of the antenna are also tested in this study.
