Planar Inverted-F Antenna with A Hollow Shorting Cylinder for Mobile Phone with an Embedded Camera

A novel planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) with a large hollow shorting cylinder suitable for integration with an embedded digital camera for a mobile phone is proposed. A design example of the proposed PIFA for application in a UMTS (1920–2170 MHz) mobile phone is demonstrated. The antenna design and experimental results are presented and discussed. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
