Abstract :
The purpose of this paper is to describe the procedure carried out to design a handset antenna using the Theory of Characteristic Modes. The antenna, which is based on the PCB resonance design concept, consists of a folded slotted PCB that is excited by means of a planar square monopole. This antenna is suitable for mobile terminals as it provides excellent wideband performance and omnidirecctional radiation patterns.
