Thefourth mobile generation requires ofmultistandard operating handsets of small physical size aswell as has an increasing demand\r\nfor higher data rates. Compact multiband printed inverted-F antennas (IFAs) for available wireless communications are proposed\r\nin this paper. A new design of a printed IFA based on a uniplanar compact EBG concept is proposed. An L-loaded printed IFA\r\nshaped over an artificial ground plane is designed as the main antenna to cover the GSM, LTE, UMTS, bluetooth, andWLAN. The\r\nmulti-band is created by means of an electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structure that is used as a ground plane. Different shapes\r\nof uniplanar EBG as ring, split ring resonator, and a spiral rather than mushroom-like structure are investigated. The proposed\r\nantenna is built on the uniplanar EBG ground plane with a size of 35 Ã?â?? 45mm2, which is suitable for most of the mobile devices.
