Abstract :
The directed-fed and coupled-fed monopoles for portable device applications have been proposed and verified. By adding a distributed inductor in the coupled-fed monopole, the 0.73 GHz mode is excited and combines with the 0.96 GHz mode operated by the directed-fed monopole to form wide low frequency band. The higher modes of the proposed monopole create wide high frequency band. The operating bands based on -6 dB of S11 are 0.69-0.96 and 1.71-2.69 GHz for LTE and WWAN applications. The compact dimensions of 75 × 10 × 0.8 mm3 can be easily applied in top edge of tablet computer or laptop computer.
