Abstract :
In this paper, we present a novel plastic chip antenna, which requires no isolation distance to the ground plane, making the antenna having a lower antenna height above the ground plane of the system circuit board. In addition, with a compact size of 33/spl times/7.5/spl times/7.5 mm, the proposed antenna generates two separate wide resonant modes covering the GSM and DCS bands. Details of the proposed antenna are described, and the experimental results of a constructed prototype are presented.
