Abstract
An internal antenna which has 1 cc volume was implemented on the FPCB(Flexible Printed Circuit Board) for the mobile phone. We increased antenna gain and efficiency by the applying of current direction concept on the antenna pattern for this small antenna. Short antenna length for the GSM band was compensated by the spiral inductor on the FPCB. For broadening bandwidth on GSM band, it's applied 2 spiral inductors. A conductor pattern for the DCS band was positioned perpendicular with the FPCB. Antenna was implemented on FPCB that is dielectric constant 4.4 and thickness 0.05 mm, and FPCB was attached on a carrier dimensioned $L{\times}W{\times}H=30{\times}7{\times}5\;mm$. Measurements showed that max. VSWR 2:1, efficiency 42.49~60.95 % and 47.95~73.21 %, average gain -3.72~-2.15 dBi and -3.19~-1.35 dBi on the GSM and DCS band, respectively. These results are good performances among the small antenna. And the radiation patterns are omnidirectional on the H-plane to both band.
