Abstract

A low-profile miniature antenna with very wide bandwidth is proposed for emerging multimode devices. It comprises a small circular patch antenna loaded by a metallic annular-ring and located on a laminate with a slotted ground plane. The design achieves a very compact low-profile antenna with broadband performance. By optimizing the parameters of the annular-ring patch antenna, very broadband characteristics can be obtained. The measured results show that the antenna achieves a 10dB return loss from from 1.383GHz to 2.210GHz, (827MHz) ie about 47% with respect to the centre frequency 1.796GHz. The measured results are in good agreement with the simulated results. The radiation patterns and gains are also presented. The working frequencies for the proposed antenna include the GPS frequency (1.575GHz), DCS band (1.710GHz-1.880GHz), DECT, GSM1800 and the UMTS (1.920GHz-2.170GHz) band.
