A detailed characterization of the effects of antenna coating on the performance of cellular phones is presented. The FDTD‐based simulations show that antenna coating facilitates the reduction of the antenna length without jeopardizing the radiation properties of the antenna. However, the radiation efficiency is slightly affected. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 23: 52–54, 1999.
