TY - JOUR AU1 - Sim, Chow‐Yen‐Desmond AU2 - Chao, Chun‐Heng AU3 - He, Wen‐Bin AB - The design of a hybrid antenna with double layer structures that allow multiband operation in the global system for mobile communications/digital communication systems/personal communication system/universal mobile telecommunications system and wireless local area network band bands is presented. By combining the resonant modes excited separately by the upper layer planar inverted‐F antenna structure (0.88, 0.97, and 1.18 GHz) and lower layer monopole antenna type structure (1.38, 1.76, and 2.45 GHz), a dual‐frequency operation with broadband characteristics can be observed, whereby the lower and upper frequency bands are operating between 0.86 and 1.00 GHz and between 1.15 and 2.63 GHz, respectively. From the experimental results, stable gain and good radiation efficiency are also exhibited within the bands of interest. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
