A promising design of the wideband integrated monopole slot antenna for WLAN/WiMAX operation in the mobile phone is presented. The antenna is integrated at one corner of the system circuit board of the mobile phone and consists of two portions, one on‐board slotted portion and one add‐on portion. The add‐on portion is printed on a small FR4 substrate as a surface‐mount element, which is vertically mounted and connected to the on‐board slotted portion to form as a monopole slot antenna. This integrated monopole slot antenna occupies a small volume in the mobile phone and shows a very wide bandwidth covering WLAN operation in the 2400–2484 MHz band and WiMAX operation in the 2500–2690/3300–3700 MHz bands. Detailed results of impedance and radiation characteristics of the proposed antenna are presented and discussed. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
