A novel printed hybrid loop/monopole slot antenna for quad‐band operation in the mobile phone is presented. The proposed hybrid antenna is composed of a meandered loop antenna and a monopole slot antenna, and can generate two wide operating bands centered at about 900 and 1900 MHz to cover GSM850/900/DCS/PCS operation. The hybrid antenna is easily fabricated by bending the meandered loop antenna at low cost, which is connected to and centered at the top edge of the system ground plane where a straight monopole slot is embedded. With quad‐band operation obtained, the hybrid antenna, however, occupies a small volume of 5.5 × 6 × 60 mm 3 or 1.98 cm 3 only inside the mobile phone. A 50‐Ω microstrip feedline is used to excite the meandered loop antenna and the monopole slot antenna in series. Detailed results and parametric studies of the proposed hybrid antenna are presented.
