In this paper, we designed a loading sleeve monopole operating at PCS and IMT-2000 frequency bands using the structure of the broadband loading sleeve monopole. The length of the designed antenna is lower than that of the helical antenna coupled with a whip used in commercial PCS handsets. The length and diameter of the designed antenna are 38 mm and 8 mm, respectively. The designed loading sleeve monopole is fabricated and investigated experimently. The VSWR is less than 1.5 in the PCS and IMT-2000 frequency bands(1750 MHz~2170 MHz) and gain is 3.5 dBi.
