Abstract :
Slotted PIFA with capacitive loading for operation in the GSM band is presented. The PIFA is placed on a ground plane with dimensions of an average handheld device. The antenna is optimized by using electromagnetic simulator and a prototype is manufactured. Calculated and measured results agree very well. Input impedance matching with SWR < 3 in the whole band was achieved. Maximum gain of 3.2 dBi is measured.
