Abstract

A metal rim antenna with small clearance for smartphone applications is proposed. The proposed antenna mainly consists of a system ground plane, a metal rim with two slots and two shorting grounded patches. The theory of characteristic modes is used to analyze the entire structure. With the aid of a simulation tool, two resonant characteristic modes (CMs) in the low-frequency band are identified, and its eigen-current distributions are also analyzed to obtain an optimized design. Finally, the bands of 0.85-0.96 and 1.71-2.69 GHz, are covered. The measured result agrees well with the simulated one, demonstrating the application potential for smartphone applications.
