Abstract

Based on the work by Dais et. al, a small efficient and low profile planar inverted-F antenna with multi-band operations for the use in mobile telephones has been studied. The antenna was designed using a high frequency structure simulator, HFSS, built and verified. In order to increase the bandwidth of the antenna from the original design it is further optimized by frequency tuning using the shorts of different parasitic element. The simulated antenna operates over two wide bands from (740-1090) MHz and from (1420-2160) MHz, covering five cellular bands and the upper part of the UHF-band allowing it to be used in terminals combining cellular and DVB-H operations.
