A low-profile monopole antenna covering the following frequency bands is proposed for mobile phone applications: Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM-900), Digital Communication System (DCS), Personal Communication Services (PCS), Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), Wireless Broadband (WiBro), Bluetooth, Satellite-Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (S-DMB), and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) frequency bands in the 5.0 GHz range. Multiple resonators in a compact configuration have been used to realise the octa-band internal antenna within a volume of 2.08 cm(3) that is very attractive for multifunctional slim handsets. Measured performances of a prototype antenna have been compared to predicted results.
