Dual Band Planar Inverted F Antenna (PIFA) with L-Shape Configuration

Compact multiband Planar Inverted F Antenna (PIFA)

RF-M/NEMS Switch Integrated Planar Inverted F-Antenna (PIFA)

We propose a novel multifunctional reconfigurable antenna (MRA) design using micro/nanoelectromechanical system (M/NEMS) switches. This single MRA operates over five frequency bands of GSM900, GPS1575, GSM1800, PCS1900 and UMTS2100. The reconfigurability in operating frequency is achieved by the activation of M/NEMS switches which are integrated with the antenna architecture. Summary of Researc...

Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA) Design Dissection for Cellular Communication Application

An in-depth approach towards the design of PIFA has been taken. After discussing the essential parameters involved in the design procedure and introduction of a design algorithm, a miniaturized dual-band PIFA is introduced. Different specifications of the proposed antenna are measured both through computer simulation and fabricated PIFA. Also, the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is introduced an...

Development of Dual Band Planar Inverted-F Antenna for Wireless Applications

A dual-band Planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) for wireless applications has been presented in this paper. The proposed antenna is compact in size and design on FR4 substrate. The antenna consists of a slotted radiator supported by shorting walls and a small ground plane. Square shaped slot in radiating patch have been used to introduce dual band operation into the proposed antenna. The structure...
