Popis: 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.
