The objectives of the work are as follows:

1

AbstractAbstract An Antenna converts electromagnetic radiation into electric current, or

vice versa.

Need of Antenna :

For transmission and reception of the radio signal.

Wireless performance is completely dependent on a high performance antenna design

and implementation.

PIFA antenna structure is one of the most promising candidate in the

category of antennas used in handheld devices.

The proposed antenna is simulated with commercially available

software Ansoft HFSS.

The dimensions of the antenna is designed and optimized to meet the

required characteristics.

Principle of operationPrinciple of operation

6

The patch acts approximately as a resonant cavity (short circuit

walls on top bottom and side, open-circuit walls on the other side).

If the antenna is excited at a resonant frequency, a strong field is set

up inside the cavity, and a strong current on the surface of the

patch.

The electric fields that extend out from the open circuit edge of

PIFA (called fringing felids ) causes PIFA to radiate.

This produces significant radiation.

Basic Equation Basic Equation L1 + L2-W = λ/4 (1)

Where L1 is Top patch length

L2 is Top patch Width

λ is wavelength corresponding to resonant frequency

But λ = c/f

PIFA sits on top of a dielectric substrate with permittivity €r

L1 + L2-W = c /4f√€r

When W/L2=1 then

L1 = λ/4

(2)

When W=0 then

L1 + L2 = λ/4

CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION

Conclusion and Future Scope Conclusion and Future Scope

21

Few conclusions drawn from this work are:

Agreement between simulation results and measurement data is

good.

The designed single-band antenna, built on PIFA structure, is very

sensitive to any changes to the dimensions of the structure including

the ground plane.

Only precise fabrication can yield the simulated results . Even small

changes in dimensions can affect the performance significantly.

Future Scope:

The design proposed here can be extended for supporting multi band

applications .
