A modified meander line monopole antenna is presented for broadband operation. The impedance and radiation characteristics of the antenna are investigated. The proposed antenna achieved a bandwidth of approximately 845 MHz with S11< -10 dB, which covered the GPS, DCS, PCS, UMTS and WiBro bands. The electrical characteristics of the proposed antenna appear to be attractive for mobile terminals and repeater applications.
