Abstract
A simple direct-fed dual-loop antenna capable of providing hepta-band WWAN/L
TE operation under surroundings of an unbroken metal rim in smartphone applications is pro-
posed. The greatest highlight of this proposed antenna is that it provides a simple and effective
solution for an unbroken metal-rimmed smartphone. The unbroken metal rim with 5 mm in height
embraces the system circuit board of 130 × 70 mm2 . Two no-ground portions of 10 × 70 mm2
and 5 × 70 mm2 are set on the top and bottom edge of the system circuit board, respectively. In-
between the two separate no-ground portions, there is a system ground of 115×70 mm2 connected
with the unbroken metal rim by a small grounded patch. This proposed dual-loop antenna is
capable of covering GSM850/900/DCS/PCS/UMTS2100/LTE2300/2500 operating bands. De-
tailed design considerations of the proposed antenna are described and both experimental and
simulation results are also presented and discussed.
