In this paper, a design technique using a bypass capacitor is proposed to improve the antenna efficiency of an inverted-F antenna (IFA) with a band stop matching circuit (BSMC). The proposed antenna operates in the LTE bands 26 and 5(814~ 894 MHz). The bandwidth of the IFA is expanded from 803~863 MHz to 800~888 MHz using the impedance change caused by the BSMC. To enhance the antenna efficiency in the expanded frequency band, the bypass capacitor is applied to the IFA with the BSMC. The bypass capacitor improves the efficiency of the antenna by reducing the current variation of the IFA with the BSMC. The proposed antenna has a bandwidth of 804~895 MHz and the antenna efficiency increases by more than 10 % in the extended frequency band by using the bypass capacitor.

In this paper, we designed and implemented a PIFA(Planer Inverted F Antenna) and IFA(Inverted F Antenna) hybrid antenna for the data communication terminal such as smart phone. Studied hybrid antenna has multi-band characteristics by the simultaneous operation both PIFA and IFA under a feeding structure. VSWR measurement of implemented antenna was satisfied 3:1 over GSM900/USPCS/WCDMA band. Measured average gains and efficiencies were -2.19~-3.63 dBi and 43.31~60.33 % for the GSM900 band, and -2.16~-10.67 dBi and 8.56~60.78 % for the USPCS/WCDMA band.

An inverted-F antenna for wireless local area network(WLAN) is presented. The proposed design is based on the typical dual-band planar inverted-F antennas(PIFA), which have two tunable resonant modes. The low-profile antenna is built by stamping and designed to be mounted on the metal frame of the laptop LCD panel. The obtained antenna can perform in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands and be adopted for other wireless applications. All the measurements are performed in the actual test fixture.

Compact quadruple inverted-f antenna(QIFA) with circular polarization for GPS receiver is proposed. Radiation efficiency is decreased when 4-port antenna is smaller. A new matching method is proposed by considering both a return loss at one port and mutual coupling between ports to increase radiation efficiency. Experimental results show that the proposed QIFA has a 3-dB beamwidth of more than 120 degrees and a front-to-back ratio of more than 15 dB. Also, the QIFA has the peak gain of -2.5 dBic and the axial ratio under 0.5 dB.

In this paper, we propose an antenna that improves narrow band characteristics which is a disadvantage of inverted-F type antenna and utilizes the structural advantages of small size and low profile by modifying the inverted-F type antenna structure and applying CPW feeding method. Experimental results show that the broadband characteristic of about 40% at the center frequency of 3 GHz is seen, and it is found that the narrow band characteristic which is a disadvantage of the conventional inverted F antenna can be improved. The radiation pattern showed almost omnidirectional characteristics and the maximum gain was about 2.0dBi.

In this paper, we design the dual frequency antenna that could easily determine two operation frequencies by its inverted-F antenna structure and spur line length. The spur line is applied to the inverted-F antenna, in order to dual operation characteristics in PCS and cellular frequencies. It has designed by using the IE3D commercial software based on the moment method. As the designed antenna is fabricated and measured, you can see the results such as the return loss, the input impedance, the radiation patterns, and the gain. The size of this antenna is 40 mm$\times$14 mm$\times$9.4 mm, it is compact enough to use as an intenna. Also, This antenna can be used with cellular and PCS phone of domestic market.

In this paper, a miniaturized PCB-integrated antenna is proposed for bluetooth applications. The proposed antenna is a modified form of the printed inverted F antenna where the size reduction is achieved by employing the meander strip for the resonant length part of the radiator. The antenna dimension is optimized using the commercial electromagnetic software MWSTM. The designed antenna is fabricated by the standard photo-etching technique and its performance is measured. The fabricated antenna shows a bandwidth of 125MHz centered at 2.45GHz and a gail of -0.23dBi. The size of the proposed antenna is $9.65mm{\times}5.95mm$ corresponding to the 55 percent of the area of the existing printed inverted F antenna.

In this letter, a novel hybrid planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) with a T-shaped slot on the ground plane is proposed. The loop structure formed by the feed line and shorting pin can be operated as a series and shunt inductance for the PIFA and the T-shaped slot antenna, respectively. The PIFA operates at a frequency of 1.75 GHz, while the T-shaped slot on the ground plane operates at 2.4 GHz by the same voltage feeding source. The height of the PIFA is 6.5 mm, and the size of an upper patch is designed to be 30 mm${\times}$16 mm. The measured relative impedance bandwidth of the PIFA and the T-shaped slot are about 12% and 21%, respectively. In addition, good antenna performance was achieved.
