Abstract

One of the longstanding problems in planar inverted F antenna (PIFA) is its efficiency, which reduces as PIFA is placed too close to the ground. In this paper a kind of mushroom-like Electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structure with three conductor layers is designed In the UHF band, which has smaller unit cells and thinner thickness compared to classical ones. This kind of mushroom-like EBG structure is used as the reflector of PIFA with capacitor structure. It is demonstrated that PIFAs with EBG grounds have higher radiation efficiency than those with PEC ground. At the same time, no significant changes in the antenna resonance frequency and the radiation patterns are found. The theoretical prediction is well verified by results of both simulation and experiment.
