The Pliant Monopole Antenna (PMA) Design for Handset Phone Operation

This paper proposes a new antenna technique for pliant monopole antenna (PMA) as a radiator. This branch meander lines PMA based on two asymmetric meander lines with flexible structure exhibits good performances. Branch lines PMA radiator has the merits to improve antenna bandwidth with fine frequency tuning. The design bandwidth full cover 820MHz~960MHz and 1700~1990MHz The PDA phone for GSM, EGSM, DCS, PCS, CDMA and CDMA2000 applications is well demonstrated with the integration and measurement of the co-designed PMA.
