Abstract

In this paper, we present a multi-band handset antenna that can afford multi-band applications in the mobile systems, including GSM (880-960 MHz), GPS (center at 1575 MHz), and IMT2000 (1920-2170 MHz) bands. This antenna mainly consists of three folded meandering branches and a ground plane to meet the needs for multi-band operation and antenna size reduction. The dimension of the proposed tri-band antennas is 41 x 9.5 x 6.5 mm³ and the ground plane size is about 80 x 43 mm². Details of the proposed antenna are described, and experimental results are also presented and discussed.
