We developed a loading sleeve for Automobile, which has the PCS and IMT-2000 frequency bands. The electric characteristics of the designed sleeve monopole has SWR<1.311 and 3.0dBi in average gain for that frequency bands. In this study, the designed sleeve monopole was installed at a roof and trunk lid of vehicle. The characteristics of designed sleeve monopole was investigated by measuring SWR, input impedance and radiation pattern. The experimental results show that the efficiency of the sleeve monopole is superior th that of domestic and foreign commercial PCS antenna.
