Abstract

A novel printed hybrid antenna, formed by loop and planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA), is presented for the next generation handheld devices. The proposed antenna design is optimized to cover GSM 850, UMTS, LTE 2300 MHz, WiBro 2300 MHz, WLAN 2400 MHz, WiMAX 3500 MHz, and LTE bands 5, 19, 23, 34, 40 and 42, combined with good radiation performance over all matched frequency bands. The antenna has a compact structure and can easily be printed on a single-layer 0.8 mm thick FR4 substrate.
