Abstract

A new wideband and miniaturized metal rim antenna is developed based on a frequency-variant material for smartphone applications. The proposed antenna has a small clearance of 2 mm and uses a simple feeding method to cover the lower-frequency band (698-960 MHz) without impedance matching networks. This compact antenna, like a small module, can be placed at the top side of the substrate without extending to the long side which will reduce the user's hand effect significantly. Three cases with/without the new material are investigated and compared to demonstrate that the proposed antenna based on the new material has a wideband and is an excellent candidate for modern smartphone applications.
