Abstract

Recent breakthroughs in mobile phone technology are focusing on new techniques that allow the compact integration of dual‐band printed antennas into handsets with an increase in their inherent narrow bandwidth. In this letter, novel rectangular, circular, triangular, hexagonal, and bow‐tie‐shaped spur‐line dual‐band printed structures have been designed, measured, and compared. Although a second resonant frequency is obtained, it has been clearly made evident that spur‐line filter techniques are unable to obtain broad‐bandwidth elements, unless they can be combined with other methods. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
