摘要:This research presents a miniaturized wideband meander line antenna (MLA) using a magneto dielectric (MD) material for mobile device applications. The proposed MLA attached the lower and upper ground planes of the folder-type chassis, connected electrically by grounding strip. The MD material (ECCOSORB MF-124) was subsequently loaded onto the coupling element area of the MLA. The MD-laden MLA was ultracompact (10 mm × 25 mm × 1 mm), with the electrical size of 0.015λ × 0.039λ × 0.0015λ at 470 MHz. The surface current distribution was simulated to determine the optimal parameters of the MD-laden MLA. To verify, a prototype antenna was fabricated and the experiments were performed. The measured impedance bandwidth ( dB) covered the frequency range of 467–1012 MHz (73.6%), with an omnidirectional radiation pattern. The radiation efficiency was in excess of 90%, rendering it suitable for the DVB-H/LTE13/GSM850/900 applications.
