Abstract

This paper describes a novel single feed dual-band inverted-F antenna (IFA) operating in the ISM and UNNI bands. The antenna is printed on a PC card and is suitable for Bluetooth and wireless LAN 802.11a applications. The three-dimensional finite element method (FEM) electromagnetic simulator, HFSS, is used in the design simulation of the IFA/PC card system. The results exhibit a proper operation of the antenna in terms of return loss, bandwidth and efficiency at both bands.
