Abstract

A compact multiband antenna using a double-negative (DNG) zeroth-order resonator (ZOR) for global system for mobile communications (GSM850/1800/1900, 824894/17101880/18501990 MHz), wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA, 19202170 MHz), and wireless broadband (WiBro, 2.32.4 GHz) operations is presented. The proposed antenna having a total volume of 40 times 6 times 3 mm³ comprises a lower-band ZOR antenna part and an upper-band ZOR antenna part. The zeroth-order resonant properties are analyzed by magnitude and phase distributions of the surface magnetic field using near-field scanning system. The performance of the antenna is verified by experimental data obtained from fabrication and measurement. The antenna offers omnidirectional radiation patterns and measured radiation efficiencies exceeding about 53% and 41% for lower and upper bands, respectively.
