A novel design of elliptic fractal multiband planar antenna for wireless applications

The mobile phone applications had known an increase through the last years. Starting with GSM-900 on 1992, a mobile phone can today support the quad bands (850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz), Bluetooth, IMT-2000 (International Mobile Telecommunications), Wi-Fi (2.4 and 5 GHz), GPS, LTE (Long Term Evolution), ISM (Industrial, Scientific & Medical) bands (2.4 and 5.8 GHz) and NFC (Near Field Communication). These developments need antennas with a multiband behavior, small size and low cost of fabrication.
