The invention relates to a triple-frequency-band antenna used in WLAN and WiMAX and belongs to the technical field of wireless communication. The triple-frequency-band antenna comprises a bottom first microstrip branch structure (1), a left second microstrip branch structure (2, 3), an intermediate microstrip branch structure (4), a right fourth microstrip branch structure (5-7), a microstrip feed line (8), a comb-shaped parasitic unit (9-12), a common-ground structure (13-18), and a dielectric slab (19). The triple-frequency-band antenna is characterized in that (a), a basic radiation unit is formed by the four microstrip branch structures mentioned above and is directly connected with the microstrip feed line (8); (b), a gap is arranged between the microstrip feed line (8) and the common-ground structure such that coplanar waveguide feed is formed; and (c), the dielectric slab uses FR4 dielectric material. The triple-frequency-band antenna has advantages of compact structure, easy integration, simple processing, multiple frequency bands, good tenability, and a stable directional diagram, and may simultaneously satisfy requirements of WLAN and WiMAX systems.
