In this paper, the method of isolation enhancement for the mobile phone MIMO antenna of LTE class 40(2300~2400MHz) was studied. Design of MIMO antenna was based on the hybrid antenna that operates both a monopole and an IFA(Inverted F Antenna). A structure for the isolation enhancement which controls induced electric field on the ground plane is located between MIMO antenna, and was not connected with the ground but apart 0.3mm. A MIMO antenna that operates on class 3~40(1710~2400MHz) of LTE service bands and a structure for the isolation enhancement at the class 10 band were designed. VSWR measurement of implemented antenna on the FR4 board showed within 3:1 at entire design bands, and isolation between antennas at the class 40 band was less than -30dB. Isolation was enhanced more than 20dB by the studied structure. ECC(Envelope Correlation Coefficient) for MIMO performance was under 0.1, and antenna average gain and efficiency measured in the anechoic chamber were -4.28~-1.40dBi and 37.32~72.36% respectively.

The broadband input impedance, the input power and the radiation pattern of the monopole antenna attached to the handy phone operated at 800MHz are calculated by using the Finite Difference Time Domain(FDTD) Method. For the FDTD analysis of frequency characteristics of monopole antenna, the handy phone is modeled with the geometry that the monopole antenna is connected to a conducting box, and the modified FDTD algorithm[11] used the thin wire appproximation method and the Maxwell's integral equation from the original Yee algorithm is applied for the analysis of the wire structure. Also, by means of finding the current distribution directly from circumferencial magnetic filelds around the monopole antenna and the conducting box, the radiation pattern is calculated to observe the influence of the conducting box, and is compared with the results of the known mothod for the FDTD calculation of radiation pattern, For the experiments, the handy phone of which full length including antenna is .lambda. $\lambda$/2 is manufactured and we confirm that all computation results are agree well with the mea- sured values.

We designed and implemented a 3-dimensional structure internal antenna which has volume less than 1.5 cc for mobile phone to improve efficiency and gain. Multiple bending for the resonance of small internal antenna derives reduction of gain due to cancellation of antenna current. In this study, the current cancelation was reduced by the minimization of antenna bending. And the helix element was applied for the purpose both compensation of short antenna length and action of radiation element. For the verification of this study, a 1.5 cc volume 3D antenna which was fabricated by the press method applied to the dual band mobile phone. Measurement showed that efficiencies and gains under the slide down and up were 27.73 %, 0.29 dBi for the GSM band and 46.84 %, 2.27 dBi for the USPCS band, and had good performance under the small antenna volume. H-plane radiation pattern showed omnidirectional for the both band.

This paper describe the design and fabrication of a Multilayer helical antenna for PCS cellular phone. It has been designed for commercial PCS cellular phone by HP-HFSS and fabricated with diameter of 7.6mm and height of 9mm. As a result, the antenna was well-operated in the frequency ranges of 1.75~1.87㎓ for the application of PCS system. We obtained omni-directional radiation pattern, gain of -0.9㏈i and bandwidth of 180MHz.

We are proposing a new mobile phone antenna, which has a specially manufactured Mn-Zn cylindrical ferrite bead inside of the helical coil of the antenna. The extended antenna radiation patters and the spatial peak SAR averaged over 1 gram simulated tissue with and without the ferrite bead insertion were measured at 824 MHz. The results show that the ferrite bead resulted in SAR reduction about 20 %, and reflection coefficient increase about 7 % for the extended antenna. The applicability of this scheme to the antenna mass production is quite feasible.

This letter describes a dual-band compact monopole antenna with two branches for Wi-Fi applications. The proposed antenna is based on a planar monopole design, and composed of two branches of radiating patches for dual-band operation. The ground size of the antenna matches the ground size of a typical hand-held cellular phone for improved compatibility with mobile phone printed circuit boards. The antenna is designed using a simulator and fabricated with optimized parameters. The fabricated antenna is measured at the lower and higher operating frequencies, and the return loss coefficient, gain, and radiation patterns are determined.

We designed and fabricated, in this paper, a quintuple band folded monopole antenna for the mobile phone handset that can be provided multiple mobile services. Antenna design was based on the compensation of series antenna capacitance with the expansion of physical antenna length by the proper folding structure. It's shown that this antenna satisfies quintuple service band as CDMA/GSM/DCS/USPCS/WCDMA, and is more cost competitive than conventional metal plate pressing method by applying on flexible PCB technology. Measured maximum gain on quintuple band were $-2.51{\sim}+1.82 dBi$, and radiation patterns were also shown nearly omnidirectional on all bands.

We propose optimization method of two-inductor loaded small loop antennas using simple genetic algorithm. To optimize the loop antennas for the RFID and the mobile phone band, we changed positions and values of the two inductors in the loop antenna. Visual basic was used to make genetic algorithm and to calculate fitness values by controlling the commercial EM software. The bandwidth of the optimized RFID loop antenna is 10 MHz at the center frequency of 922 MHz and that of the mobile phone antenna are 84 MHz and 266 MHz at the center frequency of 948 MHz(GSM band) and 1.81 GHz(DCS band), respectively.
