An investigation of broadband folded monopole antennas with shorting pins is proposed. The proposed antennas are compact in size, and can provide sufficient bandwidths for the DCS (1710–1880 MHz), PCS (1850–1990 MHz), 3G (1920–2170 MHz), and WLAN (2400–2484 MHz) bands. The method used to realize size compact is to introduce a folded monopole antenna, which is difficult to accomplished with a planer substrate. Here, we introduce the shorting pin and find its optimal position in order to approach a folded‐antenna. Details of the antenna design and the experimental results are presented and discussed. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
