The impact of the PBG structure in removing the undesired harmonic frequencies of the proposed antenna is demonstrated. The proposed antenna is designed, fabricated and tested. The results show that the designed antenna is capable of resonating at three different frequencies of 915 MHz, 1.8 GHz and 2.45 GHz with high-efficiency performance in terms of return loss, gain and radiation pattern characteristics with compact size. Good agreement between the measured and the simulated results is observed. {\^A}{\copyright} 2016 IEEE.}, keywords = {Directional patterns (antenna); Energy gap; Harmonic analysis; Microstrip antennas; Microwave antennas, Different frequency; harmonic; Harmonic frequency; Pattern characteristic; performance; Photonic band gap (PBG); Surface current; Triple band, Photonic band gap}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85011977568&doi=10.1109\%2fICIAS.2016.7824066&partnerID=40&md5=a426a525933dc57c67b9b54c333b00c2}, isbn = {9781509008452}, author = {Saeidi, T. and Bin Ismail, I. and Zakariya, M.
