  • Abstract
    In this paper suggestion FPC for antenna design not only easy to control the antenna pattern on desired direction and radiation magnitude but also effective and quickly solved the complex tuning parameters of antenna application. Flexible printer circuit (FPC) board serves planar wireless antenna design. Effectively to supersede the antenna based on the traditional fixed printer circuit board (PCB) implement, and then provide free dimension of antenna and wireless system integration to designer. This paper proposes a new antenna technique for FPC printed monopole antenna as a radiator. This branch lines FPC monopole antenna based on asymmetric meander lines with flexible structure exhibits good performances. Branch lines monopole radiator has the merits to improve antenna bandwidth with fine frequency tuning. The PDA phone for CDMA2000 cellular, PCS, BT/WiFi, and GPS applications is well demonstrated with the integration and measurement of the co-designed.
