Abstract :
Reconfigurable and multi-band concepts have been combined to design antennas for mobile multi-radio platforms. The new concept is based on reconfiguring a multi-branched low profile planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) structure suitable for laptops applications. The developed unique structure complies with space and service requirements, and utilizes only two switches to provide two operating reconfigurable multi-band states. Each state is capable of covering specific service group to simplify service switching, and minimize out-of-band input noise.
