Abstract—Based on the principle of composite left and right In[3], in the inverted "L" monopole antenna, the CRLH-TL
hand transmission lines (CRLH-TL), a new type of multi-band resonance loop is loaded to realize the low frequency of
hybrid multi-mode mobile phone antenna is designed. It is a LTE. In[4], double ZOR antennas with two CRLH-TL
combination of a monopole antenna and two Zero-order resonant modes were used to increase the bandwidth of the
Resonator (ZOR) antennas. The antenna is printed on the PCB low frequencies. These designs use ZOR antenna to solve

is 70 mm  160 mm  0.8 mm and the cross-section height is
3.5 mm. The designed antenna is composed of a monopole
antenna in the center and two ZOR antennas loading on the
left and right sides. The monopole antenna ant0 is composed
of a folded microstrip feeder printed on a substrate and a
rectangular radiation patch on the top. Two "Mushroom"
-like CRLH-TL unit structures were loaded on both sides of
the ant0 antenna radiation patch. Two ZOR antennas were
successfully configured, and the two ZOR antennas were Figure 3. Configuration of 5G antenna with L-slot

right side are combined as ant2. Then, these three antennas antenna size parameter table (unit: mm)
are all combined together to form ant3, as shown in Figure 2.

III. SIMULATION RESULTS


Using CST software to simulate the antenna, Figure 4
shows the return loss (s11) of the proposed antenna without
L-slot. The monopole antenna generates a high-frequency
resonant point of about 4.95 GHz. When the monopole
antenna is loaded with ZOR1 antenna, it generated a zero
order resonant frequency point and a first order resonant
frequency point locating at 1.72 GHz and 3.64 GHz.
Similarly, the resonance frequency of the monopole antenna
moves to 1.06 GHz and 2.7 GHz after loading the ZOR2
antenna. After the three antennas are combined, the original
frequency points merged into the new frequency points of

The corresponding frequency bands are (1.02-1.09 GHz),
(1.68-1.91 GHz), (2.03-3 GHz), and (3.36-4.53 GHz),
covering multiple frequency bands.

Finally, when we cut two L-slots on both of ZOR1 and completely cover 4G LTE2300 (2305-2400 MHz), LTE2500
ZOR2 as shown in Figure 3, it generated a new 4.9 GHz (2575-2635 MHz), DCS1800 (1710-1880 MHz), WLAN

radiation characteristics at 1.70 GHz and nearly 3dBi. And in the middle frequency band, the gain of the
