Capacitively Loaded PIFA
- 總結
- In recent years the demand for small cellular handsets has grown substantially and the need for still smaller handsets continues to increase. Planer inverted-F antenna (PIFA) designs have received attention since they are compact. Although smaller sizes PIFA are needed, the design of compact antennas is fundamentally limited by the underlying physics of the problem. In practice, conventional PIFA's resonant length is one-forth of the wavelength, which limits consequently the overall size of the antenna.
The invention is a novel PIFA that is provided with a capacitive load that allows the dimensions of the antenna to be reduced to half of that conventional ones. Difficulties in obtaining a proper impedance match are overcome by incorporating a capcitive feed arrangement. Consequently the overall performance of the capacitively loaded and fed PIFA is as good as the conventional PIFA whilst only occupying half its volume. This is significant in that it could allow smaller handsets to be manufactured as well as allowing receiver designs using multiple antennas. The newly invented PIFA can be integrated into the body of a mobile telephone handset.
