The direct integration of an antenna on a system board of antennas is a promising technique for telecommunication network systems. This concept extends from previous studies on surface‐mounted antennas and printed dipole excitation, allowing lighter manufacturing and trimming phases than classical methods, and keeping the overall performance. This paper presents experimental results of low‐profile, low‐cost, and directly stacked antennas. These results are all the more interesting as it is possible to have all of the circuitry on the same printed board side as the antenna. Radiation pattern and matching results are also given for DECT and DCS applications. A 5.5% working bandwidth has been obtained around 1.8 GHz for a matching better than 6 dB and an omnidirectional radiation pattern. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
