Abstract

Bluetooth is intended to be a low cost wireless local area network (WLAN) implementation. The antenna transmits and receives the radio waves which Bluetooth wireless technology uses to communicate, so it is crucial part of any Bluetooth implementation. This paper presents a study of a planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) for Bluetooth applications. The resonance frequency and bandwidth are tunable and resonance frequencies at harmonic frequencies of the operation frequency are suppressed by the filtering characteristics of the antenna. Measured results are compared with simulations and good agreement was observed. In addition the effect of antenna gain on transmission range is discussed.
