Compact FM Antennas - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Greetings:

As you probably know, in most (all?) cellphones with built-in FM radios, the headset cable doulbes as the antenna. That presents a problem when the user wants to use a Bluetooth headset with his phone.

Do any of you smart folks out there know of a method for integrating an FM antenna into the confines of a phone or PDA case that will yield good reception? I have done a Google Search for compact FM antennas, but did not come up with anything useful. Your ideas will be appreciated.
