for multiband say for example you want GSM, DCS, UMTS band; 890-960MHZ, 1710-1880MHz, 1920-2170 Mhz respectively, and you have a requirement that might be a VSWR of 1:2 i.e. S11 in these frequency return loss < 10 on the S11 graph. Return loss is plotted against frequency.
I have not used uwave office but you should be able to find a smith chart that will tell you the impedance.
Hope this helps.

1.can any one explain to me the chracteristics required to determine a multiband antenna using the S11 graph.
2. how to know the impedence of an microstrip antenna if im simulaitng using microwave office?
thanks for ur consideration

The S11(Return loss) of multiband patch antenna likes this figure.It's is a double band microstrip antenna,you can find there are two least RL point at 1.4 and 2.3GHz.

besides the 2 RL minimums,in order to be a multiband antenna both radiation patterns at those frequecies should be similar and have a decent gain.......
