Abstract :
A compact hybrid antenna consisting of two PIFAs and a slot antenna is proposed for ultra-thin mobile phone applications. The antenna has a very compact volume of 46 ?? 10 ?? 4.2 ?? mm3, and it operates at GSM 850/900, DCS, PCS, and UMTS bands, simultaneously. Results show that its bandwidth and efficiency are sufficient for these penta-band mobile phone applications.
