Abstract :
A wideband printed inverted-F antenna for M2M applications is presented. The antenna operates at 419-545 MHz, is low cost, electrically small, and has omni-directional characteristics and high efficiency across the whole frequency range. A parametric study of key geometrical parameters is reported.
