Abstract :
A novel planar monopole consisting of a single patch, a tuning flat and wrapped into a compact structure with a height of 6 mm for 900 and 1800 MHz operations is presented. The proposed antenna has two separate wide bandwidths covering the required bandwidths of the GSM (880-960 MHz) and DCS (1710-1880 MHz) bands. In addition, the proposed antenna is lightweight and can easily be constructed by folding a planar monopole made of a copper plate. Good radiation characteristics of the proposed antenna have also been observed.
