Design of a Five-Band Internal Antenna for Handsets

Abstract

AbstractA novel compact five-band internal handset antenna covering LTE (746–806 MHz), GSM850 (824–894 MHz), GSM900 (890–960 MHz), DCS (1710–1880 MHz) and PCS (1850–1990 MHz) bands is presented. To enhance the bandwidths of the proposed antenna both at the low frequency band and high frequency band, a rectangular slot with a proper size is removed in the ground plane at an appropriate location. Both the simulated results and measured results show that reasonable radiation patterns and antenna gains for each frequency band are achieved.
