Effect of the presence of electronic components on miniaturized antennas

Abstract

The effect of the presence of electronic components on PCB on the characteristics of a small antenna (less than 0.1 wavelengths) has been analyzed and on this basis guidelines for the placement of components is presented in this work. The miniaturized antenna was designed and optimized with the help of a commercial simulation software. Results are useful for designers of small antennas to use the available space on PCB for design compactness.
