In this article, a coplanar inverted-F antenna with an electronically controlled ground slot enabling reconfigurability is proposed. Initially a quarter wavelength coplanar inverted-F radiator is designed to operate at 900 MHz. To minimize its size, the radiator is folded to occupy an area of about 10 × 40mm2. Next, a ground slot is introduced to excite another resonance at around 1850 MHz with...

This paper presents a procedure for the evaluation of the Electromagnetic (EM) interaction between the mobile phone antenna and human body, i.e., head and hand, and investigates the factors may influence this interaction. These factors are considered for different mobile phone handset models, different form factors and different antenna types, operating in the GSM900, GSM1800/DCS, and UMTS/IMT2...

A compact multiband Inverted-F Antenna (IFA) for the use in a mobile phone is presented. By adopting a novel folded 3-D structure, a quarter-wave resonator and a parasitic strip, the proposed antenna covers eight bands and exhibits reduced electrical size and low profile. S11 less than −6 dB is obtained in the GSM900, GSM1800, DCS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, WLAN5.2, WLAN5.8 and the WiMAX bands. The dim...

This paper presents simulation and experimental results for ambient RF energy harvesting and Inductive Power Transfer systems. End-to-end and dc-load efficiency measurements and calculations were performed to demonstrate the capabilities of both systems, respectively. An RF spectral survey was conducted across all the 270 underground stations in London. DTV, GSM900, GSM1800 and 3G were selected...

This paper evaluates the level of interference caused by different ultra-wideband (UWB) signals to other various radio systems, as well as the performance degradation of UWB systems in the presence of narrowband interference and pulsed jamming. The in-band interference caused by a selection of UWB signals is calculated at GSM900, UMTS/wideband code-division multiple-access (WCDMA), and global p...

Wireless communications play a crucial role in human lives. The introduction of cellular network systems, broadband internet services and public Wi-Fi increase the connectivity between people exponentially. These wireless networks require antenna structures to propagate carrier waves through space these are located within Radiofrequency (RF) region electromagnetic spectrum. effects RF on people...

Development of small antennas for mobile phones has received a lot of attention during the last few years due to size reduction of the handsets, requirements to keep the amount of RF power absorbed by the user below standardized levels regardless of the handset size, and introduction of multimode phones. Single-band and dual-band phones in which the external whip or helix antenna has been repla...

Design of multiband antennas with low volume is of practical interest for the ever growing wireless communication industry. In this regard, the design of a small multi band microstrip patch antenna (MPA) for GSM900 (880–960 MHz), GSM1800 (1710–1880MHz), GSM1900 (1850–1990 MHz), UMTS (1920–2170MHz), LTE2300 (2305–2400MHz), and Bluetooth (2400– 2483.5MHz) applications by using a genetic algorithm...
