Performance of shorted microstrip patch antennas for mobile communications handsets at 1800 MHz

Abstract: We have investigated the application of two different types of novel shorted-patch antennas for mobile communications handsets at 1800 MHz. A single shorted-patch and a stacked shorted-patch antenna offering improved bandwidth are compared with data for a =4 monopole. The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique was used to calculate antenna characteristics such as impedance and radiation patterns for two cases: on a handset and on a handset near a (2.5-mm voxel) heterogeneous head model in an actual pos… Show more

“…Professors Jim James and Peter Hall have created a large body of work on this topic [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. This work has since been extended by other authors [10][11][12][13]. The size of the patch antenna cab be reduced by using shorting pins; shorting walls; slots; ceramic materials; fractals and folded patches and ground planes [14][15][16][17][18].…”

“…Figure 4 shows the current distributions in radiating E-shaped radiating element at 900 MHz and 1800 MHz respectively. The excitation of feeding port induces high magnitude surface current in proximity of feed but weak or null current in the area far from the feed [5]. Further, the weak surface current on the ground plane ensures the better antenna performance by reducing the specific absorption rate (SAR), where power coupled to human tissues when antenna is in proximity to users head.…”
