MULTIBAND HANDSET ANTENNA USING SLOTS ON THE GROUND PLANE: CONSIDERATIONS TO FACILITATE THE INTEGRATION OF THE FEEDING TRANSMISSION LINE

Technology and Intellectual Property Rights DepartmentFractusBarcelona, SpainS. KahngDepartment of Info. & Telecomm. Eng.University of IncheonIncheon, South KoreaAbstract—This research consists on a ground plane modificationusing slots of a PIFA (Planar Inverted F Antenna) handsetantenna with the objective to facilitate the integration of thefeeding transmission line which connects the antenna with the RF-module. Through this technique it is possible to obtain a multibandantenna while keeping the same antenna geometry, small volume
