Abstract

A new internal multiband mobile phone antenna formed by two printed monopole slots of different lengths cut at the edge of the system ground plane of the mobile phone is presented. The antenna can generate two wide bands centered at about 900 and 2100 MHz to cover the GSM850/GSM900/DCS/PCS/UMTS bands and the 2.4-GHz WLAN band. Further, the antenna has a simple planar structure and occupies a small area of only. It is also promising to bend the antenna into an L shape to reduce its volume occupied inside the mobile phone. Good radiation characteristics are obtained over the two wide operating bands.
