Effect of ground plane size on the free-space performance of a mobile handset PIFA antenna

Abstract: In this paper the free-space performance of a commonly used planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) on top of various rectangular ground planes is studied by simulations. Special attention is given to impedance bandwidth and antenna efficiency. The study is carried out for five frequency bands; CDMA800, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900 and UMTS. Optimal ground plane dimensions for each frequency band are given and performance results for selected bands are shown as a function of the ground plane dimensions. Finally effect of the ground plane size on the performances of multiband antennas comprised of different combinations of selected frequency bands are discussed.

Single feed compact quad-band PIFA antenna for wireless communication applications

Abstract: In this paper, a novel compact single feed quad-band planar inverted F-antenna (PIFA) is presented. Two techniques to reduce the physical size are illustrated. First, we insert U-shaped slits within the antenna-radiating surface. This forces the current to flow around the obstacles hence, reducing the resonant frequency. This technique reduces the size by about 30% from the original PIFA. Second, a capacitive plate is loaded between the radiating surface and the ground plane. The size is reduced more to reach 55% of the original. The relation between the capacitance load value and the antenna size reduction ratio is studied. Using different U-shaped slits at different appropriate positions, multiple (dual, tri, and quad) band capabilities are realized. The four center frequencies are chosen to lie within the GSM band, DCS band, Bluetooth (IEEE802.11a) ISM band, and WLAN (IEEE802.11b) band, respectively. Foam dielectric substrate is used for rigid structure and easy shielding purposes. The reduced size and thin substrate thickness (h<0.15/spl lambda//sub 0/) allow the design to be compatible with wireless and portable communication systems. Experimental measurements verify the design and simulation criteria.

A bandwidth enhancement technique for mobile handset antennas using wavetraps

Abstract: A novel technique for enhancing the impedance bandwidth of wireless terminal antennas is presented. By introducing resonant short circuit transmission lines to the long sides of the chassis edges, an effective electrical shortening of the terminal ground plane is achieved. This effect has been used to realize terminal ground planes with resonant lengths at high frequencies, such as GSM 1800/1900 MHz or UMTS 2 GHz, thereby extending the impedance bandwidth. The proposed technique has been validated by simulations and measurements. Three typical applications are presented where the introduction of wavetraps improves the bandwidth and/or in-band performance

A Comprehensive Parametric Study of Planar Inverted-F Antenna

Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive numerical and experimental study of Planar Inverted-F Antennas (PIFA) involving all the parameters which may affect the characteristics of PIFA. It is found that PIFA characteristics are affected by a number of parameters including the dimensions of the ground plane, length, width, height and position of the top plate, positions and widths of shorting pin/plate and feed pin/plate. It is also found that the width of feed plate plays an important role in broadening the antenna bandwidth. It is shown that a fractional impedance bandwidth up to 65% can be obtained using an optimized design. Furthermore, a new empirical formula is introduced for the estimation of the central operational frequency of PIFA. These results are very useful for aiding PIFA design in practical applications.
