Summary:
The development and simulation demonstrations of a novel Fractal Planar Inverted F Antenna (F-PIFA) are presented in this paper. The influence of various parameters on antenna characteristics has been investigated and the simulation results are obtained using CST software. Simple semi-empirical formulas of the operational frequency and numerical calculation on the antenna have been discussed. The proposed antenna operates effectively in the UMTS (3G)-(1885?2200 MHz) and HiperLAN (5100?5300 MHz) bands within 2:1 (voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR). The antenna shows wideband characteristics for mobile and wireless communication applications.
