On-Board printed coupled-fed antenna for hexa-band WWAN/LTE Mobile Phone

Abstract

A compact size On-Board printed antenna using capacitive coupled-fed excitation to generate multiple resonant modes at dual band for Hexa-band operation covering GSM850/DCS1800/PCS1900/UMTS2100/LTE2300/2500 applied in the mobile phone is presented. The proposed antenna occupies only a small footprint of 15×25 mm2 on the circuit board. With such a compact size, it can achieve compact integration of the internal on-board printed antenna on the circuit board of the mobile phone, thus especially suitable for the slim mobile phone application.
