Abstract :
A planar dual-L antenna with a novel tuning technique is presented for an integrated GPS/PCS dual-band application. The tuning structure is made of a metal stub attached to one of the shorting plates of the dual-L, antenna, and thus facilitates the independent tuning for lower frequency bands. Simulation and measurements were performed and dual bands of 1565.19 MHz-1585.65 MHz and 1850 MHz-1990 MHz with a return loss better than -10 dB were achieved
