Abstract

Two miniature low profile PIFLA antennas with a compact volume size of 30 mm x 15 mm x 8 mm has presented in this paper. By applying the magnetic wall concept a reduced size dual-band and a wideband half PIFLAs for WLAN (2.4 GHz/5.2 GHz) and UWB applications are achieved. The dual-band antenna shows a relative bandwidth of 12% and 10.2% at ISM2400 and IEEE802.11a frequency bands respectively for input return loss less than 10 dB. By carefully tuning the geometry parameters of the dual-band proposed antenna, the two resonant frequencies can be merged to form a wide bandwidth characteristic, to cover 3000 MHz to 5400 MHz bandwidth (57%) for a similar input return loss that is fully covering the lower band UWB (3.1– 4.8 GHz) spectrum. The experimental and simulated return losses on a small finite ground plane of size 30 mm × 15 mm show good agreement. The computed and measured radiation patterns are shown to fully characterize the performance of the proposed two antennas.
