Abstract:
A novel wide-band planar antenna for multistandard mobile handsets is proposed and analyzed in this paper. Operating in a wide-band (890-4100 MHz) with voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) lower than 2:1, it covers most of the communications systems: Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), Global Positioning System (GPS), Digital Communication System (DCS), Personal Communication System (PCS), Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WIMAX), etc. Having a small size (40 x 50mm) it can be mounted inside a mobile handset.
