ABSTRACT:
The operation of a mobile communication apparatus is enhanced particularly in the lower frequency portion of its bandwidth by connecting an electrically-conductive ground-enlarger to the electrically-conductive ground of the printed wired board (PWB) containing the communication circuitry such that the ground-enlarger effectively enlarges the ground of the PWB to load the antenna in the lower portion of its radio frequency band. The ground-enlarger may include stub ground-enlarger integrally formed on the PWB, or connected thereto, preferably at the end of the PWB opposite to that connected to the antenna. The antenna may be an internal antenna or an external antenna.
