Comprehensive Parametric Study of a Novel Dual-Band Single Feed Planar Inverted-F Antenna

Abstract

This paper presents a new configuration of a dual frequency, single feed, planar inverted-F antenna, which is suitable for implementation in different handsets. A parametric study, using finite element simulation software, high frequency structure simulator, has been carried out on each of the frequencies of this antenna and closed formulas in terms of antenna parameters have been obtained, which makes the designing process much easier. The proposed antenna has been fabricated according to the obtained formulas. Both, numerical simulation and experimental data are presented.
