Abstract
In this paper we design and fabricate the Skeleton slot antenna which operates dually in GSM 900 and 1800 bands. Its simulation results are also compared with the measured ones. The original Skeleton slot antennas had the problems of unsatisfactory VSWR characteristics and considerably changing horizontal radiation patterns at high frequencies, but the proposed design improves these problems using multi-path feeding network and folding structure. The size of the radiator is 154 $\times$ 106(mm), and its height is 33(mm), and the reflector of 190$\times$190(mm) is used. The material of the radiator and reflector is 1mm-thick aluminum. Using NTC process reduces the mass production cost significantly. The measured return losses are 13.7 % at 900 MHz band and 16.4 % at 1800 MHz band, respectively. The horizontal radiation beam width is stable within $\pm$ 1$^{\circ}$ at both frequency bands.
