GSM patch antenna (900/1800/1900 MHz) ?
 

(newbie here)

I'm cobbling together a hobby project with a GSM module (1900 MHz). It needs
a fairly small antenna but I haven't found anything online (digikey.com,
mouser.com, emj.com)

Would you have a recommendation or design I can use for this purpose?

Thanks, Caesar.

Do a web search on " Cellphone Antennas" and you will get a hundred hits.
You can also go to a local cellphone store and buy an external cellphone
antenna that is meant to be glued to a car window for maybe $15. The one
type is a patch antenna in a plastic housing with about 8 feet of coax
attached.

I should have mentioned that you need a store that handles ATT, Cingular, or
T Mobile.
