Abstract :
Given the constrained geometry of modern mobile equipment, the design of small volume antennas such as planar inverted-F Antennas (PIFAs) is of great interest. In devices such as laptops, PDAs, and phones, antennas must be low profile and compact by Huynh, M.-C and Stutzman (2004). Here a novel low cost, easily fabricated, miniaturized multiband PIFA antenna with a frequency selective surface (FSS) as a bottom layer is presented. The miniature PIFA is designed for GSM 900, GSM1800, DECT, DCS, UMTS, Bluetooth (WLAN) and HiperLAN 1&2.
