Summary:
In this paper, a new wire inverted-F antenna (WIFA) is proposed, which is structured by wire-grid modeling of a thick WIFA. This novel WIFA, which is hereafter referred to as Wire-Grid Inverted-F Antenna (WG-IFA), shows 39.2% bandwidth on VSWR. Also it shows VSWR<1.2:1 all over the GSM frequency band, 890-960 MHz. The constituent wires in the wire-grid model are very thin and indirectly form thick arms for the antenna. As a result, modeling and design procedure can be done easily and fast by NEC, which is a one-dimensional Method of Moment (1-D MoM) based software.
