A compact multiband antenna for frequency bands of 2.45 GHz (ISM), 3.3 GHz (5G), and 5.8 GHz (ISM) is proposed. A modified Complementary Split Ring Resonator (CSRR) and crossshaped stub are introduced in a hexagonal radiator to achieve triple-band operation including both ISM bands applications of 2.45 GHz, 5.8 GHz and WiFi/WLAN. The stubs in the radiator also improve the bandwidth and impedance matching of the antenna. The 10 dB impedance of the proposed antenna varies from 2.43 GHz to 2.64

... , 3.02 GHz to 3.85 GHz, and 4.88 GHz to 6.82 GHz. The antenna is analyzed on a human phantom model for wearable applications, where simulated SAR and theoretically calculated SAR are 0.3251 W/kg and 0.3299 W/kg, respectively. The antenna is used on a human breast model for cancer detection applications, where the SAR value is used to analyze and validate the performance of the antenna; therefore, the antenna has effectively worked for biomedical and wearable applications.
