This letter presents a very simple coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed penta-band circularly polarized (CP) antenna for 1.6 GHz GPS, 3.45 GHz WiMAX, 2.45/5.3/5.8 GHz WLAN and 4.2 GHz radio altimeter applications. The antenna is composed of a monopole, a semi-circular patch, and a slit etched in the ground plane. The final design with an overall size of 70 x 53 x 1.52 mm(3) has yielded measured 3 dB axial-ratio (AR) bandwidths of 9.7% (1.48-1.63 GHz), 37.3% (2.38-3.47 GHz), 5.1% (4.21-4.43 GHz), 3.0% (5.25-5.41 GHz), and 3.3% (5.69-5.88 GHz). Measured -10 dB impedance bandwidths of the proposed antenna are 109.3% (1.31-4.47 GHz) and 28.5% (5.05-6.73 GHz) which fully cover all the AR bands.
