Abstract

In this paper a compact and wideband planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) with metamaterial loaded on the ground plane is proposed. The metamaterial units, composed of an array of Jerusalem crosses PEC structure, improve the performance of the antenna and cause a special characteristic of backward radiation. Simulation results show that this novel antenna has a bandwidth of 49.4%, which is from 2.56 GHz to 4.24 GHz. Compared to a conventional PIFA simulated in this paper, the proposed antenna has a reduction of 91% in dimension. And the antenna has a gain over 3 dB within the whole bandwidth.
