Abstract

A low-profile monopole antenna covering the following frequency bands is proposed for mobile phone applications: Global System for Mobile communications (GSM-900), digital communication system (DCS), Personal communication services (PCS), Universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS), wireless broadband (WiBro), Bluetooth, satellite-digital multimedia broadcasting (S-DMB), and wireless local area network (WLAN) frequency bands in the 5.0 GHz range. Multiple resonators in a compact configuration have been used to realise the octa-band internal antenna within a volume of 2.08 cm³ that is very attractive for multifunctional slim handsets. Measured performances of a prototype antenna have been compared to predicted results.
