摘要
A simple direct-fed dual-loop antenna capable of providing hepta-band WWAN/LTE operation under surroundings of an unbroken metal rim in smartphone applications is proposed. The greatest highlight of this proposed antenna is that it provides a simple and effective multiband antenna solution for an unbroken metal-rimmed smartphone. The unbroken metal rim with 5 mm in height embraces the system circuit board of 130 x 70 mm(2). Two no-ground portions of 10 x 70 mm(2) and 5 x 70 mm(2) are set on the top and bottom edge of the system circuit board, respectively. In-between the two separate no-ground portions, there is a system ground of 115 x 70 mm(2) connected with the unbroken metal rim via a small grounded patch which divides the unbroken metal rim into two strips. Finally, a dual-loop antenna is formed by combining the inner system ground and two strips. This proposed dual-loop antenna is capable of covering GSM850/900/DCS/PCS/UMTS2100/LTE 2300/2500 operating bands. Detailed design considerations of the proposed antenna are described and both experimental and simulation results are also presented and discussed.
