This paper presents design simulation, implementation, and measurement of a miniaturized GPS/K-PCS dual-band LTCC chip antenna for mobile communication handsets. The dimension of LTCC chip antenna is $9mm{\times}15mm{\times}1.2mm$. The lower meander type antenna is to be tuned to the lower frequency (GPS) band and the upper meander antenna with via hole connection is to contribute the higher frequency (K-PCS) band. In order to lowering the resonant frequency for GPS band, two printed modified meander antenna with gap stub is used to integrate with PCS band operation. The measured resonant frequency at GPS band shifts to lower frequency about 100MHz. The measured impedance bandwidth(VSWR $\leq$ 2) are 55MHz and 120MHz at the resonant frequency. respectively.

In this paper, an EBG(Electromagnetic BandGap) resonator antenna with a stripline type FSS(Frequency Selective Surface) superstrate for PCS-band base station antennas is proposed. The characteristics of resonant frequency and -3dB bandwidth of a unit cell of a superstrate are first analyzed by varing several design parameters such as a strip width and a unit cell width in order to design an EBG resonator antenna satisfying the required antenna gain and bandwidth for PCS-band base station antennas. Among various unit cell shapes, strip dipole and stripline are considered and their characteristics are compared. It was found that a resonant length of the EBG resonator antenna becomes smaller when the stripline shape is used and the control of the bandwidth is also much easier. By using the unit cell simulation results, planar and cylindrical EBG resonator antennas at PCS-band are designed.

In this paper,a reconfigurable multi-band mobile antenna with switching line for LTE band 13, GSM, K-PCS, WCDMA band. The proposed antenna is planar strip line design and composed of stub shorted to the ground plane and two switching line for proposed band operation.

The numerical and experiment results demonstrated that the proposed antenna satisfied the -6 dB impedance bandwidth requirement while simultaneously covering when the state of sw1 and sw2 on for LTE band 13, the state of sw1 off and sw2 on for GSM, K-PCS, the state of sw1 off and sw2 off for WCDMA. Respectively and characteristics of gain and radiation patterns are determined for a reconfigurable multi-band mobile terminal.

In this paper, we study the characteristics of dual band microstrip antenna with the wedge-shaped radiation patch added the slot using air substrate. Wedge-shaped patch antenna with air substrate is avoided the large probe reactance associated with a thick substrate owing to the use of short probe and good impedance matching over a wide frequency range can be obtained. Slot on the antenna radiator varies the reactance component according to the employed frequency and affect the resonance freaqency of the antenna, therefore the antenna can resonate at the dual band(cellular and PCS band). The slot length and position have an effect on the bandwidth and input impedance of the antenna are optimized by simulation. From the experiment results for the fabricated antenna, -10 dB of $S_{11}$ is content with the allocated bandwidth of Cellular and PCS system and - 15 dB of cross polarization level. From the results of this paper, it has been confirmed that the proposed antenna can be used as the base station antenna fur Cellular and PCS band.

In this paper, a dual polarized broadband antenna fed by L-shaped strip for the Korea PCS band and W-CDMA band is presented. To analyze the characteristics of the designed antenna, we used commercial simulation tool(HFSS). The designed antenna was fabricated and measured using HP8753D vector network analyzer. The measured impedance bandwidth(VSWR<1.5) is 560 MHz and the measured average gain is 6.56 dBi. The measured isolation characteristic between two ports is -14 dB(min.) $\sim$ -40 dB(max.). These results are proper for the mobile communication application and repeater antenna.

In this paper, we designed microstrip patch antenna to enhance the weak point of general microstrip patch antenna that has narrow bandwidth and analyzed that. To reduce reactance in probe feed antenna, capacitive gap added to the patch. Using single patch and auxiliary wire, makes dual frequency resonant. So bandwidth is improved and gain also becomes higher. To verify with experiment, PCS band antenna is designed, fabricated. For PCS band antenna, bandwidth is 180 MHz in VSWR<1.5 and gain is 8.6 dBi.

This paper proposes a multiband Multi-Input Multi-output(MIMO) antenna for universal serial bus(USB) dongle application. The proposed MIMO antenna consists of a modified meander strip line and inverted L stub. The two radiating elements of the MIMO antenna are symmetrically placed with respect to the center of the ground plane. The fabricated antenna satisfied a VSWR below 3 and an efficiency over 35 % in the LTE band 13, 17(704 MHz-787 MHz), DCS/PCS/WCDMA band(1.71 GHz-2.17 GHz), and LTE band 7(2.5 GHz-2.7 GHz). The envelope correlation coefficient(ECC) has below 0.45 in the LTE band 13, 17 and 0.1 in the DCS/PCS/WCDMA band and LTE band 7, respectively.

This paper presents design simulation, implementation, and measurement of a miniaturized GPS/K-PCS dual-band LTCC chip antenna for mobile communication handsets. The dimension of LTCC chip antenna is $9mm\times15mm\times1.2mm$. The meander type radiating patch for dual-band operation is realized by using via holes with 0.3mm height to connect upper and lower-layer antenna. The lower meander type antenna is to be tuned to the lower frequency (GPS) band. The upper meander antenna with via hole connection is to contribute the higher frequency (K-PCS) band. The resonant frequency and frequency ratio of the proposed antenna can be adjusted by changing the height of via-hole and effective path of meander radiating patch. The electrical characteristics of the meander chip antenna applied to a GPS/K-PCS are suitable for mobile communication application.

This paper proposes a new type of a dual-band internal antenna for GPS/PCS handsets. The antenna has three monopoles in different lengths, and this structure is referred as a 3-fingers type antenna in this paper. The antenna with low-profile structure is designed to use internal space of handset maximally. The fabrication and the measurement are accomplished by attaching the 3-finger type antenna to the inside of a commercial handset. We obtain gain of 1.97 dBi$\~$0.66 dBi in the GPS band, and -0.92 dBi$\~$1.02 dBi in the PCS band and almost omni-directional patterns at all bands.
