ABSTRACT:
This paper describes a novel
methodology to design PIFA (Planar Inverted-F Antenna) antennas based on
parametric simulations. The parameters considered in the parametric design are ground plan
dimensions, height of radiating plate, feeding point position, shorting plate
width and position. The choice of the parameters that must be varied independently
or simultanously is important to design optimized antenna. The author studied two scenarios in
precedent works [1,2]. He exposes here a third scenario of
varing antenna parameters to design and simulate by HFSS (High Frequency Simulator Structure) simulator a probe-fed dual band PIFA
for the use in GSM 850 band (824 MHz - 894 MHz) and PCS 1900 band (1850 MHz - 1990 MHz). The author compares the three
scenarios and establishes a novel methodology to design optimized and
miniaturized antennas mounted on mobile handsets.
