Summary:This paper presents the design, optimization, simulation and fabrication of a novel single layer, single-feed triple-band elliptical microstrip patch antenna. The proposed antenna effectively operates at three frequency bands to harvest RF energy from cellular network frequency bands (900 MHz and 1800 MHz) and Wi-Fi sources (2.45 GHz) available in our surrounding ambience. The antenna is printed on a low cost commercial FR4 substrate, has a compact size, and easy fabricate. The overall dimensions of this multiband antenna unit are 95 mm \times 95 mm \times 1.6 mm. The simulations and experimental results of the proposed antenna are presented, and a good agreement is observed between the simulated and measured results.
