A promising internal printed slot antenna for hexa‐band operation in the mobile phone is presented. The antenna comprises a C‐shaped slot and an open‐ended monopole slot, and both are integrated into a compact configuration to occupy a small area of 21 × 45 mm 2 in the top portion of the system circuit board. The integrated C‐shaped slot and monopole slot are fed in series using a 50‐Ω microstrip feedline. The antenna can provide two wide operating bands centered at about 900 and 2200 MHz to cover the GSM850/900/DCS/PCS/UMTS mobile communication and the 2.4‐GHz WLAN operation. Good radiation performances of the proposed antenna over the operating bands are also obtained. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
