  • Abstract
    A loop-type ground antenna with wide-band operation is proposed for USB dongle applications. The solution for improving the bandwidth is based on a resonant feeding circuit that includes both an inductor and a capacitor. By choosing an appropriate ratio of the inductance to the capacitance, the impedance bandwidth (VSWR <; 2) is 21.8<; at 2.2 GHz, sufficient bandwidth to cover both the WCDMA and WiMax frequency bands.
