Abstract

Three small multi-band planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) elements are presented. They have been developed to be used in future small multi-standard handsets. Mobile communication (GSM1800, UMTS), wireless local area network (WLAN) (IEEE 802.11b, HiperLAN2) and wireless personal area network (WPAN) (Bluetooth) standards have been envisaged. A double layer structure with an air gap is used, to provide the required large bandwidth. Small ground planes with 100 × 40 mm2 and 60 × 40 mm2 are used representing nowadays one piece and two pieces small handsets. Prototypes have been designed, fabricated and tested. Good agreement has been obtained between numerical simulations and experimental results.
