Abstract :
The printed folded loop antenna and the rectangular loop antenna are analyzed as possible candidate antennas for existing and future mobile systems, respectively. FDTD is used to calculate radiation patterns and input impedance. The calculated results are in good agreement with measurements. The proposed antennas meet the design requirements for mobile networks
