Abstract

A small 3-Dimensional (3-D) multi-band antenna of "F" shape is proposed for portable phones' applications. The designed configuration of the proposed antenna is different from traditional Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA) radiators. The proposed antenna has the good characteristics of wide band. The ratio of impedance bandwidth to the central frequencies 2.5 and 5.1 GHz is 28.6 % and 9 %, respectively. It can be applied to Bluetooth (BT) 2.4 GHz and Unlicensed NII - 5 GHz, UNII-1 5.1 ~ 5.25 GHz and UNII-2 5.25 ~ 5.35 GHz. The experimental results have fairly good agreement with the simulation data by High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS).
