Abstract:
We describe a stacked, dual-frequency microstrip planar inverted-F antenna (DF-PIFA) for mobile telephone handsets that can concurrently work in two frequency-bands, viz., those associated with the GSM and DCS 1800 systems operating at 0.9 GHz and 1.8 GHz, respectively. The proposed microstrip DF-PIFA is fed by a coaxial line, as opposed to two separated feed lines used in the conventional design. The design is carried out in a systematic manner and involves two steps. We begin with an initial configuration of the PIFA that is based on a standard design for a microstrip patch antenna fed by a coaxial line and is derived from an empirical approximation in conjunction with a transmission line model. Next, we employ a computer-aided design (CAD) tool, based on the nonuniform finite-difference time-domain (NU-FDTD) Maxwell solver, to optimize the performance characteristics of the DF-PIFA, including the return loss, the matching of the input impedance, and the far-field radiation patterns.
