Flexible Compact Planar Inverted-F Antenna for GSM/DCS/PCS Triple-Band Applications

摘要

A compact design of a flexible planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) is proposed for triple-band (GSM/DCS/PCS) mobile phone applications.The main radiating element of the antenna,which generates the GSM and DCS resonant modes,is printed on a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) and rolled in a form of cylinder.To enhance the bandwidth of the high band,a metallic rod working as a parasitic element of the antenna is introduced into the antenna design.The antenna prototype was fabricated and measured.Good agreement between the measurement and simulation results can be achieved.
