ABSTRACT In this article, the performance of a quad‐band GSM antenna affected by the bending and twisting deformation of a mobile phone is investigated. The study is based on a system printed wire board model containing two rigid parts at the two ends and one flexible part in the central, and the bending and twisting deformations occur mainly within the central part. It is shown that the antenna performance caused by this deformation can be ignored once the metallic back cover of the flexible display is properly shorted to the system ground plane. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
