    Abstract

    A study of the electromagnetic properties of balanced and single-ended handset/wireless antennas in free space and human body scenario is presented. The article compares two particular cases, a single monopole and a balanced dipole, in terms of return loss, efficiency, and radiation pattern when changing the ground plane size. The same experiment is carried out taking into account a holding scenario, that is, when a phantom hand is holding the ground plane.
