Abstract
A handset antenna technique combining a parallel excitation
of a PIFA and a slot is presented. The number of frequency
bands is given by the sum of bands given per each radiator which
can be controlled independently. Component interaction (battery,
display, and speaker) is analyzed to determine the best place to
mitigate performance degradation. Finally, a concept featuring a
small footprint (39 11 mm) and low profile (2 mm) is proposed
for multiband operation.A handset antenna technique combining a parallel excitation
