In this paper, a novel internal antenna, called a double‐tailed helical antenna (DTHA), is proposed for modern mobile handsets. A DTHA has the merits of being compact in size, cost effective, easy to manufacture, and easy to fine‐tune, as well as having good electrical performance. A prototype of a DTHA for operation in the EGSM/DCS bands is constructed and shown. Its volume can be limited to 28 × 6 × 6.5 mm. The measured and simulated return losses and the measured radiation patterns are obtained. The experimental results demonstrate the broad bandwidth and omnidirectional radiation performance of the newly developed antenna. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
