Design of a multiband internal antenna for third generation mobile phone handsets

Abstract

Abstract-A multiband internal antenna is introduced. The antenna consists of a driven meander-line element and two parasitic elements. The design is particularly unique since it supports the third generation mobile phone handsets where multiband operation is greatly desired. The proposed antenna operates effectively in the AMPS 800 (824-894 MHz), GSM 900 (880-960 MHz), and GSM 1900 (1850-1990 MHz) bands within 2.5:1 (voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR). Detail design criteria with respect to geometrical parameter variation are given. Experimental data (VSWR and pattern) obtained from a laboratory prototype are also presented.

A Bidirectional Multiband Antenna With Modified Fractal Slot Fed by CPW

“…Accordingly, the multiband antenna is desired in many systems. In the literature reviews, there are various multiband antennas that have been developed over the years, which can be utilized to achieve the objectives of multiband operation, for instance, the PIFA [1,2] for using in mobile phone application, the slot spiral antenna [3] for dual band or multiband operation, the triangle-shaped monopole antenna [4], and other [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Recently, the developing multiband antennas have been improved due to use of the fractal concept.…”

High efficient PIFA-L Bend antenna for MIMO based Mobile Handsets

“…It has a structure very similar to fiberglass material used for digital circuit boards, but has a much lower loss tangent. Cost, power loss, and performance are trade-o considerations in choosing the substrate material, as illustrated by the following examples [6]. For example, a single patch or an array of a few elements may be fabricated on a low-cost fiberglass material at the L-band frequency, while a 20-element array at 30 GHz may have to use highercost, but lower loss, Teflon-based material (loss tangent less than 0.005).…”

A New Class of Miniature Embedded Inverted-F Antennas (IFAs) for 2.4 GHz WLAN Application

“…T HE rapid proliferation of wireless communications has created a strong demand for small internal antennas for mobile phones operating in 900/1900 MHz band applications [1]- [11]. Many wireless devices, such as laptops, mobile phones, and personal digital assistants (PDAs), also have Bluetooth or IEEE wireless local-area network (WLAN) functionalities integrated within them.…”
