A dual-band (UHF: 470-862 MHz, L: 1452-1492 MHz) digital video broadcasting-handheld (DVB-H) antenna is presented. The proposed antenna is composed of a planar inverted F-shape antenna (PIFA) with an input impedance matching circuit. The matching circuit improves antenna performance in the broad UHF bands (470-862 MHz: 63%). The proposed antenna has omni-directional patterns and sufficient gain (Ave. peak gain is about 1.70 dBi over 470-862 MHz) for the PMP applications. The antenna is contact with a PMP case (${\varepsilon}_r=3.2$) which is used as a substrate for the size reduction and compact design.

In this paper, a novel triple-band planar inverted F antenna(PIFA) is proposed. The goal of this paper is to design a small antenna which is operated in triple band. Using T-shape slit and stacked U-shape parasitic patch, good impedance matching is achieved in three band. T-shape slit is inserted on the main patch in order to effectively control the excited patch surface current distributions. The proposed antenna occupies a small volume of $26{\times}9.5{\times}6mm^3$, and the obtained impedance bandwidths cover the required operating bandwidths of the GPS(1565-1585MHz), IMT-2000(1885-2200MHz) and Bluetooth (2400-2484MHz) bands.

This paper presents to improve of isolation characteristics between personal communication service(PCS) antenna In mobile terminal and 2-channel multi input multi output(MIMO) antenna in the wireless broadband Internet(WiBro) band. In order to improve the isolation between each channel antenna, the proposed PCS antenna with an air space of 3 mm height is located on the projected ground plane($25{\times}12mm$) which is very small space$(0.19{\lambda})$ between the 2-channel WiBro-MIMO antenna. The proposed PCS antenna structure is a modified planar inverted F antenna (PIFA) of spiral type with shorting strip line(6${\times}$4 mm). The calculated Isolation values between the proposed PIFA with 3-dimensional structure and the MIMO antenna at Wibro band are about -20dB below and agree well with the measurement. Measured return loss, bandwidth, and gain o# the proposed antenna are -20dB at 1.8GHz, 110MHz(1.76${\sim}$1.87 GHz) band at -10dB below, and 0.05dBi, respectively, Moreover, we confirm that the proposed PCS antenna has no influence on performance and characteristics of the conversional 2-channel WiBro-MIMO antenna.

Diversity antenna system against multi-fading environment is strongly required for WiBro service of vehicle. In general, high isolation performance between antennas leads to good diversity gain. In this paper, a polarization diversity antenna is presented, which has orthogonal polarizations and good isolation characteristic. In addition, by simulation and measurement, it is certified that HWLLA (Half Wave Length Loaded Antenna) improves polarization purity on common ground. In isolation between two antennas, HWLLA can provide better isolation over 12dB than conventional PIFA (Planar Inverted F Antenna).

Characteristics of monopole antenna and planar conductor structure mounted on handheld telephone are anlayzed by using FDTD method. Feeding of monopole antenna is implemented with lumped elements and plastic case is coated on the surface of conductor box. Otherwise, resonant frequency of handheld telephone mounting monopole antenna with no plastic case is 877MHz, when plastic case (${\varepsilon}_r=2$) is coated, the resonant frequency is down to 82MHz and the bandwidth is broadened about 1.5 times. Planar structure of handheld telephone mounted on the body makes to change far-field gain radiation patterns. In this case, radiation patterns are somewhat asymmetrical. Handheld telephone using PIFA(Planar Inverted F Antenna), instead of monopole antenna, is resonated at frequency 1.52GHz that is available onPCS. In the radiation pattern of this structure, azimuth that electric field intensity is presented below 20dB is 14$^{\circ}$.

In this paper, Quad-Band small antenna for GSM850, GSM900, DCS1800, DCS1900 is designed and fabricated. The antenna achieved the size reduction of over 67.9 % than the conventional PIFA(Planar Inverted-F Antenna) by using a MD(Magneto-Dielectric) material. A simple feeding microstrip line is used to feed the antenna from a $50{\Omega}$ coaxial line, which is capacitively coupled to the grounded patch structure for broadband characteristics. The impedance bandwidth the proposed antenna shows good results as broadband characteristics of 1341 MHz (801 ~ 2142 MHz) in VSWR < 3 (${\leq}\;-6\;dB$) and the gain is -6.67 ~ 4.25 dBi in the operating frequency.

This paper presents an antenna design that can be applied to flexible transparent conducting film. The antennas shaping PIFA (Planar Inverted F-shpae Antenna) were produced on polyamide substrates, which are flexible. The IZTO/Ag/IZTO multilayer films were used for the antennas and exhibited superior electrical, optical and flexible characteristics. This study compared the transparency and performance of two antennas (IZTO/Ag/IZTO multilayer film, and Ag monolayer film). The operation frequencies were set to 5.18~5.32 GHz of WLAN (802.11a). The performance showed a maximum efficiency and peak gain of 89 % and 5.86 dBi, respectively.

In this paper, multi-band internal antenna which can adjust both resonant frequency and input impedance of antenna as using lumped inductor between shoring plate and ground plane is proposed. The structure of proposed antenna consists of PIFA (Planar Inverted F Antenna) structure and half-wavelength loaded line structure and has two shorting plates and one feeding plate. One shorting plate is shared. The operating frequency bands of designed antenna are GSM, GPS in the PIFA structure and DCS, US-PCS, W-CDMA in half-wave loaded line structure as varying the inductor value in 2.2nH, 3.3nH, and 4.7nH. As varying the inductor value in the shared shorting plate, input impedance of antenna is varied. To minimize the gain variation of antenna as adding lumped element, the inductor value is restricted at maximum of 6.8nH. The maximum gain of proposed antenna is measured as -1.60dBi in the GSM band, -1.16dBi in the GPS band, and 1.41dBi in the DCS/US-PCS/W-CDMA band.

The two PIFA antennas operating 2 GHz have connecting line($\lambda_g$/4) face to the feed point for high isolation and low correlation at 2 GHz band. The two loop antennas connected each other in the bottom side to improve the isolation at 5 GHz band. The proposed antenna has a sufficient gain in WLAN service band and is compact sized for the portable media player (PMP) applications.
