A planar dual‐meander‐line antenna consisting of three branch strips for a low‐profile GSM/DCS/PCS/WLAN multiband mobile handset is proposed. The branch strips are designed to operate as quarter‐wavelength structures at 900 and 2000 MHz, respectively, and the obtained impedance bandwidths are 120 MHz (about 13.2%) and 924 MHz (about 44.4%) for covering the required bandwidths of the GSM (890–960 MHz) and DCS/PCS/UMTS/WLAN (1710–1880/1850–1990/1920–2170/2400–2484 MHz) bands. The proposed antenna can be mounted on top of a mobile phone with a low profile of 20 mm from ground plane. The measured antenna radiation patterns are approximately omnidirectional across the multiresonant bands. Peak antenna gains for operating frequencies across the GSM/DCS/PCS/UMTS/WLAN multiple bands are measured to be 1.8 and 2.9 dBi, respectively, with gain variations within 0.5 dBi.
