Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel on-glass antenna with a planar structure for the GPS wireless communication. A prototype of the proposed antenna with a compact size of 6mm×18 mm is experimented in the mobile handset operation. The antenna shows operating bandwidths (referenced Return loss -6 dB) for covering the GPS L1 band in 1.575 GHz. The present design mainly focuses on the current trends in the development of compact and low profile mobile handset. For reducing the dimension of the antenna area in the device, the GPS antenna is placed on the inner surface of the glass over the display. Moreover, the antenna design can be against to avoid the degradation in the user handheld condition. The simulated and measured data including return loss, antenna gain and radiation patterns are presented. As a result of the measurement, the antenna design is proper to the GPS band application in the mobile handset.
