This letter proposes a radiation efficiency enhancement technique using a lumped inductor for a dual‐mode mobile phone.Two planar inverted‐F antennas (PIFAs) with a collinear arrangement are used for dual‐mode operation at the CDMA band of 824–894 MHz and GSM band of 880–960 MHz. Each antenna is separately connected to a lumped inductor of 4.7 nH. The electric field is more confined on each inverted‐F section at its operating band in this configuration and the coupling between PIFAs is less than −10 dB. The simulated and measured results show that radiation efficiency of the proposed antenna is improved by up to 33%. The radiation patterns are similar to those of a dipole antenna with slightly tilted main beam directions due to the PIFA placement. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
