This solution is based on loaded planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) design. Resonance frequency of the antenna is electrically controlled and thus wideband operation is achieved. A tuning circuit consisting of a varactor diode realizes the needed antenna tuning impedances. Proposed method is verified creating a tunable antenna that covers (470 - 750) MHz and fulfills the specified gain requirement.","PeriodicalId":446281,"journal":{"name":"2007 International workshop on Antenna Technology: Small and Smart Antennas Metamaterials and Applications","volume":"98 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123473453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A simple integrated LTCC balun design for testing 5.2 GHz differential antennas is described. Balun dimensions of 9.5 mm times 10 mm at 5.2 GHz are among the smallest reported so far. A rectangular loop antenna integrated with the balun displays good return loss and radiation pattern. It is shown that the antenna gain can be increased by 8.6 dB by employing an experimental ferrite LTCC tape as a superstrate to the regular LTCC substrate. Finally, a parametric study is performed which investigates the effects of ferrite superstrate material properties on the antenna gain. The antenna demonstrates in simulation, strong potential for integration into low power, low cost and short range wireless biomedical sensor systems.","PeriodicalId":446281,"journal":{"name":"2007 International workshop on Antenna Technology: Small and Smart Antennas Metamaterials and Applications","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126176558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
