摘要:
An innovative dual-frequency planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) mounted at the bottom end of the ground plane of a folder-type mobile handset is presented. The proposed PIFA has a bent meandered radiating arm and is first printed on a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB), which is then bent by 90degrees and attached to and supported by a foam base of size 40 X 8 X 7 mm(3). The proposed PIFA is capable of GSM/DCS operation, and the experimental results of a constructed prototype are presented and discussed. (C) 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
