Summary:
Radiating elements patterned after Peano space-filling curves are used to miniaturize dual-band planar inverted-F antennas (PIFA) for wireless mobile application in the 900MHz and 1900MHz bands. A mixed-parameter Evolutionary Programming algorithm in combination with a Method of Moments numerical engine is employed to optimize several Peano-curve PIFA structures. Hybrid geometry of Peanocurve and polygonal patch is found to reduce by more than 50% the volume of a conventional rectangular PIFA, while still providing acceptable bandwidth.
