PLANAR INVERTED-F ANTENNA (PIFA) WITH IMPROVED BANDWIDTH AND IMPEDANCE

摘要

Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA) with improved bandwidth and impedance [0032] The present invention overcomes the drawbacks of the technology models available in the state of the art by providing Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA) with improved bandwidth. The PIFA comprises a top plate (102) which is placed at a predetermined height above a ground plane (101). A plurality of shorting pins (104) is placed in contact between the top plate (102) and the ground plane (101). A feed element (103) is placed at a predetermined distance away from each of the shorting pins (104) within the interior area of the top plate (102). The shorting pins (104) provide the ability to tune the PIFA using a tuning element to achieve desired bandwidth over a wide range of frequencies. (FIGURE 1)
