Abstract

The planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) is widely used in mobile and portable radio devices due to its excellent performance. However it is not yet employed as an ultra-wideband antenna due to its perceived narrow band characteristics. This article introduces a new PIFA for frequencies from about 3 GHz to 10 GHz ith a fractional bandwidth of about 100% which is ideal for emerging ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless applications. Simulated and measured results are provided to verify the conclusion.
