Abstract
The design of a modified planar inverted F antenna (PIFA) which is more compact (antenna length < λ0/8 and antenna height < 0.01λ0) and has a much wider antenna bandwidth (greater than 10 times that of a simple PIFA) is demonstrated. The reduction in antenna length is achieved by meandering the radiating patch, while the enhanced bandwidth with low antenna height is obtained using a chip-resistor load in place of the shorting post. A typical design of the modified PIFA in the 800 MHz band has been implemented, and experimental results are presented and discussed.Keywords
