This paper presents a design of wireless broadband (WiBro)-multi-input multi-output (MIMO) and personal communication service (PCS) antenna for practical mobile phone. To decrease the mutual coupling of WiBro-MIMO antenna, it is considered on the projected ground structure. In addition, two type PCS antennas for multi-function mobile phone are designed. The proposed antennas are well resonated in each operating frequency band. The measured bandwidths of 3-dimensional (3D) and 2-dimensional (2D) PCS antennas are 110MHz and 130MHz below -10 dB, respectively. The isolations between WiBro-MIMO and two PCS antenna are below -15dB by 2D antenna type and -20dB by 3D antenna type, respectively. The printed IFA has shown a better performance than modified planner IFA with spiral and shorting strip.
