A multilayer ceramic chip antenna with helical structure is analyzed to enhance the narrow bandwidth of conventional ceramic chip antennas. The simulations are performed by HFSS to verify the effects of structural parameters on impedance bandwidth. The multilayer ceramic chip antennas consist of a rectangular-parallelepiped ceramic body$({\varepsilon}_r=7.8,\; tan\; {\delta}=0.0043)$ and helical conductor patterns are embedded in the ceramic body using LTCC-MLC technology. 3D structure design of the multilayer ceramic chip antenna suitable for IMT-2000 (1,920~2,170 MHz) handset has been implemented, and experimental results are presented and discussed.

In this paper, a multi-band ceramic chip antenna for WLAN(Wireless LAN) applications is designed. The design target is to obtain 0 dBi of coverage gain with omni directional radiation pattern. The antenna is fabricated using Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic(LTCC) technology. The size of the chip antenna is $2.2{\times}9.65{\times}1.02$mm. The measured antenna gain is 1 dBi at 2.44 GHz and 0.5 dBi at 5.5 GHz. The omni directional radiation pattern for the two operating bands is obtained. The measured bandwidth(S11=-10 dB) are 90 MHz at 2.44 GHz and 1280 MHz at 5.5 GHz respectively

In this paper, the small chip meander antenna for dual-frequency operation is presented. The proposed chip meander antennas was fabricated by the ceramic chip using LTCC-MLC process. It is a novel compact dual-frequency design using a meandered patch that achieves more degrees of freedom for adjusting dual-frequency operation and the size reduction with narrow frequency ratio. And it is proposed that the 3D structure for additional size reduction of the meander antenna. The size reduction of the 3D meander antenna is as large as 50 % as compared to the design for dual-frequency operation not using 3D structure. It is observed that the principle of dual-frequency operation through current distribution, return loss and radiation pattern.

This paper proposed a novel chip type ceramic dielectric antenna by using the advanced meander line technique that the radiational metals are formed on the face of ceramic dielectric(8 ${\times}$ 4 ${\times}$ 1.5 mm, alumina) and both facses of substrate(1.0 mm thickness, FR-4). The performance of the antenna model has a good agreements between measurements and computed results. Resultly, it has a 10 dB return-loss bandwidth(2.4～2.4835 GHz) and 1.7 dBi measured radiation gain for Bluetooth application. The proposed antenna model can overcome the problems of the radiation gain from the small antenna's size.

In this paper, a meander-line chip antenna with stacked layer is suggested, designed and fabricated employing the LTCC(Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic) fabrication techniques. To reduce the antenna chip size, the meander-line antenna strip is distributed over three layer. Layers one interconnected using via holes. A 2.4 GHz chip antenna with size of $3.75{\times}7.9{\times}1.0 mm^3$ is designed and fabricated using the LTCC technique. Measurements of the fabricated antenna show 160 MHz bandwidth and 3.75 dBi maximum gain. The Measured reflection coefficient and radiation patterns agree well with the prediction by electromagnetic simulation.

In this paper, we made study for plastic chip antenna, the plastic is Formax with the circle of PVC and its electric characteristics are dielectric constant 1.9, surface current $10{\Omega}$. The proposed antenna same as the conventional antenna are usually constructed with ceramic chip, which are not fragile in nature and don't tend to break easily. Therefore the proposed antenna with its advantage are attractive for application in mobile antenna. We study the dual-band plastic chip antenna resonated at 800Mhz and 1800Mhz. From this study results, we feel confident of application for mobile phone antenna.

In this papers, we made study for plastic chip antenna, the plastic is Foamex with the circle of PVC and its electric characteristics are dielectric constant 1.9, insulation intensity 112 KV/cm. The proposed antenna is same as the conventional antennas are usually constructed with ceramic chip, which are not fragile in nature and don't tend to break easily. Therefore the proposed antenna with its advantage is attractive for application in mobile antenna. In order to valid the proposed papers, it is implemented the antennas of four types and experimented. From the results, we conformed that the antennas are operated at the dual band which is cellular band and Korea-PCS band. And the gain of the antennas has about above -2 dB and the pattern is same as conventional antennas. From this papers, the realized antennas using Foamex material will be application for mobile phone antenna.

In this paper, we designed and implemented a dual band chip antenna for WLAN, which contains within the small LAN card contrary to the enternal AP(Access Point) antenna. Limiting about the antenna size, we used dielectrics of high permittivity. Totally considering problems of demand-supply, price and characteristics, we used that relative dielectrics of ceramic is 9.8 and the thickness is 3.5mm and 5mm. Ceramic antenna can be used not only triple mode of IEEE 802.11.a,g and b but also broadband. The frequency bands have wideband characteristics of 2.4~2.5GHz and 4.9~5.85GHz and relatively constant performance.
