Abstract― A Novel internal triple band folded planar antenna is introduced in this paper. By modifying the geometry and implementing the shorting pins onto two sides folded structure rectangular patch antenna. The size of the folded rectangular patch antenna can be successfully reduced to volume of 34h34h7 mm. An additional microstrip line of 2h8 mm is also incorporated with the proposed patch antenna in order to achieve the impedance bandwidth of 29.7% (return loss -10dB) which is covering the DCS1800, PCS1900 and UMTS 2000, while it is m
