Compact Printed Antenna for Mobile Phone

A small-size printed antenna is proposed for the application of mobile phones. The antennacomprisesan outer strip, an inner strip, and a common section.It not only occupies a compact area of 25 × 20 mm² butalsosupports two wide bandswithinthe resonantmodes. Prototypes of the antenna had been constructed and experimentally verified. The measured results of the antenna show the bandwidth cover the existing service bands of GSM/DCS/PCS/UMTS within 6 dB return loss specification, and also have good radiation patterns and antenna gains.This antenna is well suitable to be used for mobile phone application.
