Abstract

A printed monopole antenna for quad-band operation in the mobile phone has been proposed and studied. The antenna occupies a volume of 24.3 x 20 x 4 mm3 with a very low height as compared to others, yet it can cover two wide bands centred at about 925 MHz and 1920 MHz to realize GSM/DCS/PCS/UMTS operation. Good radiation characteristics of the antenna over the operating bands have also been observed. The proposed antenna is very promising for application in the mobile phone as an internal antenna for quad-band operation.
