A new planar inverted-F antenna with a very large bandwidth starting from 817MHz to 11.5GHz (VSWR < 3) is proposed as an alternative for high performance mobile phones intended to cover the major part of the mobile phone frequencies worldwide as well as the ultra-wideband (UWB) frequency range. A prototype of the antenna was constructed and the re∞ection coe-cient and radiation patterns were measured to demonstrate an adequate radiation performance. The antenna dimensions of 4 £ 2:5 £ 0:5cm 3 are compatible with the requirements imposed by the most recent commercially available smartphones. Besides, the easy construction without a matching network or a complicated geometry is an additional feature that can be re∞ected in low fabrication cost.
