Abstract

This paper presents a compact planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) designed to cover the bands of the existing wireless networks with standards such as Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) in USA (5.15-5.35 GHz, 5.725-5.825 GHz), HIgh PERformance radio Local Area Network /2 (HIPERLAN/2) in Europe (5.15-5.35 GHz, 5.47-5.725 GHz) and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) (5.25-5.85 GHz). The PIFA antenna provides a good reflection coefficient equal to -26.07 dB and a broad bandwidth of 690 MHz. The antenna is characterized with reflection S-parameter, surface current distributions, and radiation patterns.
