Miniaturized PIFA Design with Bandwidth Enhancement

Miniaturized Planar Inverted-F Antenna designs with enhanced bandwidth are presented in this work. The miniaturization effect is achieved by modifying the shape of the radiating element or patch. The proposed designs resonate at a lower frequency, when compared to a Square Planar Inverted-F Antenna with the same size. The expected performances of the proposed configurations are validated through simulations and measurements.
