A Frequency Tunable PIFA Design for Handset Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
A frequency tunable planar inverted F antenna (PIFA) is presented for use in the following bands: DCS, PCS, and UMTS. Initially, the tuning was achieved by placing a lumped capacitor, with values in the range of 1.5 to 4 pF, along the slot of the radiator. The final tuning circuit uses a varactor diode, and discrete lumped elements are fully integrated with the antenna. The antenna prototype is tunable over from 1850 MHz to 2200 MHz, with an associated volume of 21×13.5×5 mm, making it suitable for potential integration in a commercial handset or mobile user terminal.

Wideband Tunable PIFA Antenna with Loaded Slot Structure for Mobile Handset and LTE Applications
A compact planar inverted F antenna (PIFA) with a tunable frequency response is presented. Tuning of the resonant frequency is realized by loading a varactor on an embedded slot of the proposed antenna structure without further optimizing other antenna geometry parameters. The antenna exhibits a wide frequency range from 1570 to 2600 MHz with a good impedance matching (S11 ≤ -10dB) covering the...

This paper proposes a multiband handset antenna combining PIFA and novel slots on radiating patch of PIFA for mobile applications. Two slots were introduced in order to embody 900 and 1800 MHz band. Radiation patterns are computed in free space as well as in the presence of head. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of slotted PIFA antenna is calculated and is compared with the SAR limits in the safe...
