This paper presents the design simulation, implementation, and measurement of a miniaturized GPS/K‐PCS/ISM (2.4‐GHz) triple‐band LTCC meander‐chip antenna for mobile‐communication handsets. The dimensions of the LTCC chip antenna is 8.6 × 15 × 1.5 mm. In this paper, the bottom meander radiating patch is tuned to the GPS‐band, the middle meander antenna with via‐hole connection contributes to the K‐PCS‐band operation and the top radiating patch is tuned to the ISM‐band (2.4 GHz). With 2.0:1 VSWR impedance bandwidth definition, the lower, middle and upper bands have impedance‐bandwidth values of 110, 140, and 60 MHz, covering the bandwidth of the GPS/K‐PCS/ISM (2.4‐GHz) bands. Satisfactory agreement between the simulated and measured results for the antenna patterns and impedance bandwidth are achieved. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
