Planar inverted‐Eantenna for future generation applications

Abstract

This work presents a new simple low‐profile and compact planar inverted‐E antenna (PIEA) which is a modified form of planar inverted‐F antenna having two shorting plates instead of one. A slot is inserted on the ground plane to further enhance the impedance bandwidth of this antenna. This PIEA covers the frequency band from around 1700 MHz to more than 2700 MHz in a single band which covers most of the frequency bands used in 2G, 3G, and 4G applications. The height of this antenna is h = 5 mm which makes it suitable for handheld applications. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 56:2103–2107, 2014

Planar inverted-f antenna for universal serial bus dongle applications

“…The feeding plate is placed at W f y = 9.5 mm from the upper end of the ground plane and the feeding plate is also placed along the length of the ground plane. For further enhancing the impedance bandwidth of the antenna, a slot is etched out on the ground plane as the technique of modifying the ground plane is found in the literature for increasing the impedance bandwidth [15][16][17]. The bottom view of the modified ground plane is shown in Figure 2 Figure 3 shows the prototype of the proposed PIFA antenna fabricated for measurement purposes.…”
