This project summarizes the challenges
associated with antenna design for a
smart phone.A handset antenna has to
be embedded in a smart phone without
sticking out of the prole of the smart
phone and this leads to a tremendous
challenge for antenna designers.In ad-
dition these antenna have to operate
in multiple bands according to world
wide standards.The focus on this thesis
is designing, manufacturing ,measuring
electrically small antennas, introducing
MIMO and investigating what is the in-
uence on the parameters of the hand-
set antennas when it is in close proxim-
ity to human body. Moreover, an RF
cable feeding the antenna will degrade
the performance of the antenna and this
eect has to be minimized as much as
possible.
