description A hybrid multi-mode narrow-frame antenna for WWAN&#x002F;LTE metal-rimmed smartphone applications is proposed in this paper. The ground clearance is only 5 mm <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\times45$ </tex-math></inline-formula> mm, which is promising for narrow-frame smartphones. The metal rim with a small gap is connected to the system ground by three grounded patches. This proposed antenna can excite three coupled-loop modes and one slot mode. By incorporating these four modes, the proposed antenna can provide coverage for GSM850&#x002F;900, DCS&#x002F;PCS&#x002F;UMTS2100, and LTE2300&#x002F;2500 operations. Detailed design considerations of the proposed antenna are described, and both experimental and simulated results are also presented.
