A compact multiband antenna based on CRLH‐TL ZOR for wireless mobile system

A compact multiband antenna using a composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL) zeroth-order resonator (ZOR) for global system for mobile communications (GSM900/1800/1900, 880-960/1710-1880/1850-1990 MHz), wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA, 1920–2170 MHz), and wireless broadband (WiBro, 2.3–2.4 GHz) operations is presented. The proposed antenna having a total volume of 35 mm × 5 mm × 3 mm comprises a lower band ZOR antenna part and an upper band ZOR antenna part. The zeroth-order resonant properties are described and analyzed using dispersion diagrams based on the CRLH-TL ZOR theory and the full-wave simulation. The radiation patterns are the same as the omnidirectional characteristics and the maximum gains are 1.64, 2.47, and 3.32 dBi at 0.92, 1.88, and 2.2 GHz, respectively. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
