Abstract :
We report a dual-feed microstrip antenna for operation in the GSM 900/1800 MHz bands and GPS 1575 MHz band. The GPS antenna is right circularly polarized whereas the GSM antenna is linearly polarized. Simulation and measured results are presented for return loss and isolation. An isolation of better than -33dB between the two feed points has been achieved. The overall ground plane size is seen to be smaller than that for a triple-band PIFA design.
