A new type of stacked meander-chip antenna using LTCC multilayer technology for dual-band operation with dimensions of 9 ϫ 15 ϫ 1.2 mm has been proposed. By changing the vertical and horizontal lengths of the meander antenna properly, we can obtain the desired resonant frequency. With the 2.0:1 VSWR impedance bandwidth definition, the lower and upper bands have impedance bandwidths of 80 and 120 MHz, respectively, covering the bandwidth of the GPS and K-PCS bands. Satisfactory agreement between the simulated and measured results for the antenna patterns and impedance bandwidth have been achieved. Therefore, the proposed antenna is suitable for practical applications that require a small chip antenna in a mobile-communication system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
