Abstract

Multi-band antenna covering GSM850/GSM900/DCS1800/PCS1900/UMTS2100 in mobile phones is presented. The proposed antenna is kind of a modified PIFA which consists of PIFA and T-branch. The bandwidth in low and high band is achieved using gap coupling between low and high band arm. And also bandwidth in low-band is improved by the coupling between T-branch and metal ring along the edge of the housing. Experimental and simulation results using SEMCAD are presented.
