Abstract

Abstract : An inherently non‐resonant capacitive coupling element antenna for mobile handsets is presented. The compact antenna includes a simple coupling element with a novel multi‐band matching circuit for simultaneous 698–960 and 1710–2690 MHz operation. Experimental results show that the antenna performs strongly in comparison to the current state‐of‐the‐art in mobile terminal antennas, and that the non‐resonant antenna is a competitive choice for mobile terminals.
