نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a balanced antenna for mobile handset applications with enhanced bandwidth performance, that covers four bands (GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS and 2.4-GHz WLAN), is investigated. The antenna is a slot planar dipole with folded structure and a dual-arm on each monopole. A wide bandwidth planar balun is employed to feed the wideband balanced antenna from an unbalanced source. A prototype of the proposed antenna is fabricated and tested. The performance of the antenna is verified and characterized in terms of return loss, radiation patterns and power gain. The calculated and measured results show good agreement and also confirm good wideband characteristics for the proposed antenna with multiband operation.

A folded loop antenna for handsets has already been introduced and shown as one of balanced feed antennas for handsets, which is very effective to mitigate the antenna performance degradation due to the body effect. In addition, to be lower profile of folded loop antenna, Built-in folded dipole antenna, which has a structure folded loop elements sideway so that the antenna can be placed on the ...
متن کاملSelf-balanced and Wideband Characteristics of Improved Built-in Folded Dipole Antenna for Handsets
In conventional antennas, such as a monopole antenna and a planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) for handsets, some gain degradation has been often observed when the operator holds the handsets at a talk position. This is caused by the variation of the current on the conducting box used in the handset due to human body effect. Because of this point, we have to consider reducing the current flow on t...

A novel multiband multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system is proposed. The MIMO antenna system consists of two antenna elements, each of which comprises of three radiators: a driven monopole, an S-shaped strip and an inverted F-shaped strip and occupies footprint of 15x18.5x0.8 mm3 only. The driven monopole acts as a quarter-wave monopole and stimulate higher mode resonance. The tw...

In this paper, a new method for designing an active dual-band dipole antenna is proposed. The operating frequencies of the proposed antenna are 150 and 450 MHz that are usually used in military applications. Using a series stub is the main idea in the proposed dual-band antenna, where it makes an independent resonance frequency higher than the main resonance frequency of a conventional dipole. ...
