Abstract :
This paper presents a low profile multiband antenna suitable for future wireless communication systems. The design comprises a co-planar fed patch antenna and a planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA). Active switching enables the antenna to resonant in different lower frequency bands while maintaining fixed operational performance in the upper bands.
