An Improved Design of PIFA Antenna on Mobile Phone

Firstly, the development and principle of PIFA antenna in mobile phone are introduced, and the typical PIFA antenna design is analyzed. The PIFA antenna simulation is based on HFSS software. It is found that the high frequency bandwidth of this kind of antenna is very narrow. Then related parameters are optimized, by increasing the parasitic branch in high frequency band. Simulation results show that the return loss of PIFA antenna in high band is improved and the antenna can be expanded in high band, and matched in low band simultaneously.
