Abstract

It is a challenging and tough task to achieve and tune multiple frequencies for handset antennas in a small area. In this communication, we have proposed a novel modes controlling method to build and tune the handset antenna. By combining different modes of an open slot and different monopole branches, a hepta-band, covering GSM850, GSM900, DCS, PCS, UMTS, LTE2300, and LTE2500, handset antenna is achieved in a small area of 8 × 60 mm2. The most essential merit of the proposed antenna is that the related modes can be added step by step, according to the operating bands. The modes for the lower and upper bands can be easily tuned and optimized. We have also built a prototype of the proposed antenna to validate the design strategy. The tested results include reflection coefficient, radiation patterns, efficiency, and gain.
