A compact CPW-FED monopole antenna for wireless communication applications is presented in this study. The proposed antenna models consisting of very compact size of 27.5×13 mm on RT-Duroid substrate of ε_r = 2.2 with thickness of 1.6 mm. The proposed antenna structures cover the frequency bands of C and Ku. In addition, the antenna exhibits monopole like radiation characteristics and good antenna gain of more than 1.6 dB in c-band and 2.79 dB in Ku-band, which is suitable to integrate with the devices for wireless communication devices for communication system applications.
