PIFA with PIL patch having bent feed line for GSM/DCS/UMTS/WiBro applications

A novel, low-profile internal planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) with broadband characteristics is proposed for GSM/DCS/UMTS/WiBro applications. Broadband characteristics are achieved by inserting an inverted-L patch, and a bent feed line ensures good impedance matching. The optimum design parameters of the proposed antenna are decided by parametric analysis. Good omnidirectional patterns with reasonable gains are achieved at each frequency band of interest.
