Abstract
The vertical folded loop antenna, modeled as wire and printed radiatin g element mounted on a conducting box, simulating a cellular telephone with and without dielectric coating, is analyzed. Finite-difference t ime-domain (FDTD) method is used to calculate radiation patterns and i nput impedance. The results are compared with measurements and with NE C data, Very good agreement is obtained in all cases, Parasitic loadin g is used to enhance the bandwidth of the printed element, The antenna meets design requirements for existing and future mobile communicatio n systems.
