Wideband Monopole Antenna for Multiband Mobile Communication Applications

A folded monopole antenna is proposed for mobile communication applications. The proposed antenna covers CDMA and GSM at low frequency band, and it has a wide bandwidth (6.85 GHz) at high frequency band to cover GPS, DCS, USPCS, UHfS, WLAN (2.4, 5.2, 5.8 GHz), and the future application of IEEE 802.16e mobile WiMAX.
