Abstract :
The rapid growth of the personal communications industry calls for low-profile antennas. These antennas would operate as PCN (personal communication network) handset antennas around 880 MHz and 1900 MHz. Subscribers who travel over service areas employing different frequencies, will therefore, need two separate antennas. If a single, low-profile antenna can be developed for use in both bands that would certainly be an advantage. An attempt was made to develop such an antenna. The meander dual zigzag monopole configuration described by Wong and King (1986) was considered for this purpose.
