In general, a wireless communication device has employed a whip antenna or a stubby antenna. Recently, wireless communication device is increasingly employing an embedded antenna, Intenna, for the sake of miniaturization. Further, it may employ both external and embedded antennas. Examples of the embedded antenna include a multi-band monopole antenna, which radiates uniformly in all directions when viewed from above, and a planar inverted F antenna (PIFA), which is a variation of the monopole antenna. However, since the conventional antenna is mounted in a finished state on the mobile communication terminal, there is a limitation of space required for providing the antenna. According to the present study, there is provided an Intenna that is deposited on a front or back case of the mobile communication terminal by a sputtering method. Accordingly, it is possible to overcome a limitation of space required for providing the Intenna and to improve the performance of the Intenna formed on the front or back case of the mobile communication terminal.

In this paper, we design the dual frequency antenna that could easily determine two operation frequencies by its inverted-F antenna structure and spur line length. The spur line is applied to the inverted-F antenna, in order to dual operation characteristics in PCS and cellular frequencies. It has designed by using the IE3D commercial software based on the moment method. As the designed antenna is fabricated and measured, you can see the results such as the return loss, the input impedance, the radiation patterns, and the gain. The size of this antenna is 40 mm$\times$14 mm$\times$9.4 mm, it is compact enough to use as an intenna. Also, This antenna can be used with cellular and PCS phone of domestic market.

In this paper, the performance variation of a planar circular monopole antenna is studied, when this antenna is fabricated to film type and installed in the space between case and PCB of UWB terminal. When the circular monopole part has the 'ㄷ' folded structure, the input impedance and return loss, bandwidth, radiation pattern of this antenna are simulated and measured. Then the performance variation is compared with conventional planar antenna. As the results, the folded type circular antenna is usable as a intenna of UWB communication terminal, because of the good return loss and radiation pattern performance in the 2.6 - 12 GHz including the UWB frequency band.

In this paper, we analyzed damage patterns of a folder type mobile phone caused by microwave-irradiation, to find an accurate fire cause and to investigate deliberate broken of mobile phone for obtaining pecuniary advantage by deception. In order to analyze broken patterns, we irradiated a mobile phone with microwave using by 2.45 GHz microwave oven. Form the experiment results, damage patterns of mobile phone have been tendency toward heavy broken patterns depending on time of microwave-irradiated. Distinctively, folder hinge and intenna(Planar Inverted-F Antenna) were heavy broken in compare with battery, enclosure and so on. The enclosure of mobile phone became just thermo-metamorphism and the battery was not broken such as explosion.

In this paper, small UWB antenna with band-stop function for mobile handsets is proposed. A gap between radiator and under and side ground is adjusted for small size and broadband. A radiator is folded to the back side of PCB for miniaturization and tapered feeding structure is used to enhance matching characteristic. A antenna clearance has a size of $14{\times}14\;mm^2$ and a size of radiator is $10{\times}7\;mm^2$. It covers all UWB band from 3.15 GHz to 4.75 GHz and from 7.2 GHz to 10.2 GHz for VSWR<2 and has band stop characteristic at 5.8 GHz. A maximum gain is measured as 5.85 GHz. In case conventional handset case is considered, it also covers all UWB and a maximum gain is measured from -2 dBi to -2 dBi.

Integration of RF front end module(FEM) into the antenna has been investigated in USPCS band (1.88GHz-1.99GHz). The FEM consists of input filter, power amplifier, coupler, power detector, bias switch and duplexer. The antenna was designed in planar inverted F antenna(PIFA) structure to implement it inside the handset. In order to avoid strong coupling between the antenna and FEM, a shielding ground layer was placed between them. The antenna size is 19mm by 10mm by 6mm under which FEM whose size is 8mm by 5mm by 1.5m locates. The antenna impedance was selected to match to FEM having better efficiency rather than gain since FEM has enough gain whose system spec is minimum of 20dB. The antenna patterns are shown with and without FEM.

KPCS internal antenna in this paper, is designed and fabricated using the theory based on the folded monopole antenna. I propose folded monopole internal antenna which has high gain low profile structure with easy installation into the handset of mobile phone. Design frequency is 1.8 GHz that is a center frequency of Korea PCS frequency band, and the impedance variances due to change of antenna structure as a length and width are simulated. Measurements show that input VSWR range under 2:1 is 1.72 - 1.88 GHz, and radiated H-plane pattern is omnidirectional under passive state. Active sensitivities and output power of phone applied antenna are $-105\;{\sim}\;-108\;dBm$ and $22.5\;{\sim}\;23.6\;dBm$ max., respectively.

In this thesis, the Multi element antenna with wideband and enhanced gain characteristic is proposed to operate at both frequency range from 824 MHz to 896 11Hz for the CDMA and frequency range from 908.5 MHz to 914 MHz for the RFID band. The proposed antenna has tile size of $35{\times}15{\times}5mm^3$ in order to put it in the A model of S company and each element of the proposed antenna is folded to obtain the minimum size. To obtain the antenna with wideband and high gain characteristic, the radiator of the antenna is divided into 4 elements. As a result, bandwidth of the proposed antenna become broader and lower center frequency is appeared due to increased and lengthened current path. Moreover, the enhanced gain characteristic is verified because divided element structure that induct uniform current distribution can get increased antenna efficiency. To attain more uniform current distribution, modified structure of the feeding point that can deliver currents directly is designed. The antenna that alters the feeding structure has higher gain value. Each element is folded to increase the current paths considering the current directions to attain the miniaturization of the antenna. To measure the handset antenna, the handset case must be considered. Even though antenna is designed for predicted characteristic, the resonance frequency is shifted and antenna gain is deteriorated at predicted frequency while antenna is set in the handset case. 1.08 GHz of the resonant frequency is determined after frequency shift from 150 MHz to 200 MHz is confirmed and the maximum gain is measured as 3.1 dBi while antenna is not set in the handset. In case handset case is considered, the experimental results show that the impedance bandwidth for VSWR<2 is from 0.824 GHz to 0.936 GHz(110 MHz). This result appears that the proposed antenna can cover both CDMA and RFID band at once. The measured gain is from -3.4 dBi to -0.5 dBi and it has omni-directional pattern practically.
