An internal metal‐plate antenna for a folder‐type mobile phone

Abstract

A compact shorted metal‐plate antenna suitable to be concealed within the casing of a folder‐type mobile phone as an internal antenna is presented. A design example of the proposed antenna for operating in the UMTS band (1920–2170 MHz) is demonstrated. Details of the experimental results of the constructed prototypes are presented and discussed. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Coupled‐fed small‐size PIFA for penta‐band folder‐type mobile phone application

“…In recent years, the folder-type mobile phone or clamshell mobile phone [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] is increasingly becoming attractive for wireless users. It is because this kind of mobile phone is usually equipped with a large display, making it convenient for performing multimedia functions.…”

Design a PIFA with fold‐type ground plane for dual frequency mobile phone

“…The return loss over DTV band is better than 2.5:1 VSWR in two states. In [10,11], a monopole and a PIFA were designed to tune to UMTS band. These antennas operate in single band.…”
