A Novel Planar Inverted-F Antenna for Dual Band Operations

Abstract

In the present paper, a low profile planar inverted-F antenna for dual band operation has been proposed. This design comprises of a trapezoidal slotted radiating patch over a square substrate. The offered design is appropriate for 4G and Wi-MAX applications as it resonates at 2.37 GHz and 3.48 GHz frequencies. Performance metrics such as return loss, VSWR and radiation pattern are attained using HFSS 11.0.
