Abstract
A novel, "buried-on-wall" and wideband antenna for indoor communication applications is proposed. The antenna is low in profile (H = 0.093λmax = 0.35λmin) and has impedance bandwidth of about 116% ranging from 800 MHz to 3 GHz (VSWR < 2), making it easy to cover the GSM/DCS/PCS/UMTSIMT/Wibro/CDMA/WiMAX bands for indoor applications. The radiation patterns are satisfactory, and antenna gain is about 5 dBi across the operating band. The measured results are presented.
