BROADBAND PLANAR INVERTED F ANTENNA
TANJIR ALAMECE124007
WHAT IS PIFA The inverted F Antenna (IFA) typically consists of a
rectangular planar element located above a ground plane, a short circuiting plate or pin, and a feeding mechanism for the planar element.
The inverted F antenna is a variant of the monopole
where the top section has been folded down so as to be parallel with the ground plane.
This is done to reduce the height of the antenna.
PIFA can be considered as a kind of linear inverted F antenna (IFA) with the wire radiator element replaced by a plate to expand the bandwidth.

Fig.2. Basic Planar Inverted F-Antenna The shape of the antenna appears like an inverted F, and hence named Planar Inverted F Antenna (PIFA) .
WHY PIFA?
The antenna is small in size, easy to manufacture and has low fabrication cost.
Planar Inverted F Antenna has an omnidirectional pattern and provides high gain in vertical and horizontal direction.
The structure of PIFA is simple and can be easily hidden in handsets when compared to other conventional antennas.
The antenna not only shows improved performance but also reduces backward radiation towards user’s body and head i.e., it minimizes SAR.

OBJECTIVE OF PIFA In wireless communication a low profile antenna that supports multiband and
wideband operations is required. In order to meet these requirements Planar Inverted F Antenna designs are needed.
These antennas are compact and support multiband and wideband operations. Therefore such antennas are suitable for the devices where space is a major issue.
PIFA has low backward radiation and hence it minimizes electromagnetic wave absorption.
It has a self resonating structure.
Height of radiator and variation of distance, location and length affects the performance of the antenna.
Therefore Planar Inverted F Antennas (PIFA) can be used for variety of applications such as in mobile and radio communication because of its compact size, reduced length and easy integration.

ADVANTAGES OF PIFA
It can be hiding into the housing of the mobile while comparable to whip/rod/helix antennas.
It reduces the backward radiation toward the user’s head, minimizing specific absorption rate (SAR).
Third advantage is that PIFA it exhibits moderate to high gain in both vertical and horizontal states of polarization.
DISADVANTAGES OF PIFA Narrow bandwidth characteristic of PIFA is one of the limitations for its commercial
application for wireless mobile.

ObjectiveOur objective is to increase the Bandwidth of the PIFA.

Techniques to improve the Bandwidth of the PIFA Bandwidth is affected very much by the size of the ground plane. By varying
the size of the ground plane, the bandwidth of a PIFA can be adjusted. For example, reducing the ground plane can effectively broadened the bandwidth of the antenna system.
Use of thick air substrate to increase the bandwidth.
Using parasitic resonators with resonant lengths close to main resonant frequency.
Adjusting the location and the spacing between two shorting posts.
In order to increase the Bandwidth we modified the design-
Here we have used nine horizontal slots of dimension 1mm and length 7mm each across W2 and three vertical slots of width 1mm and length 35 mm to meet our requirements while maintaining all other dimensions unchanged..

Impedance Matching The impedance matching of the PIFA is obtained by positioning of the
single feed and the shorting pin within the shaped slot, and by optimizing the space between feed and shorting pins.
The main idea designing a PIFA is to don’t use any extra lumped components for matching network, and thus avoid any losses due to that.
Radiation Pattern The radiation pattern of the PIFA is the relative distribution of radiated power as a
function of direction in space.
In the usual case the radiation pattern is determined in the far-field region and is represented as a function of directional coordinates. Radiation properties include power flux density, field strength, phase, and polarization.
Conclusion
There are few conclusions that can be drawn from this thesis work:
The designed Broadband antenna, built on PIFA structure, is very sensitive to any
changes to the dimensions of the structure including the ground plane.
Ground plane of the antenna is used as a radiator resulting in overall size reduction
and improvement in the operating bandwidth.
Also there is significant improvement in gain and radiation efficiencies at obtained
resonant frequencies.
