Abstract :
A metal-wire-cutting bended monopole antenna (BMA) fed by mini-coaxial cable jointly with a thin printed ground-line which protrudes from ground-plane to be a balance-feed structure for bandwidth enhancement is proposed. A prototype of the proposed antenna with 40 mm in length, 6 mm in height and 5 mm in width has been fabricated and experimentally investigated. The human´s hand effect on impedance bandwidth and radiation characteristics of the proposed antenna is studied. A prototype is designed to cover penta-band: CDMA (824-894 MHz), GSM (880-960 MHz), DCS (1710-1880 MHz), PCS (1850-1990 MHz) and WCDMA (1920-2170 MHz). Experimental results are shown to verify the validity of theoretical work.
