What is a planar inverted F antenna?

  • A.A quarter wave patch with one edge shorted to the ground plane
  • B.A patch bent into an F shape to fit inside a handset casing
  • C.A pair of patches arranged in an F pattern for dual band operation
  • D.An inverted patch mounted beneath the ground plane of a circuit board

Answer: A

Shorting one edge places a voltage null there, so the structure resonates as a quarter wave rather than a half wave and is about half the size of an equivalent patch. The shorting pin or wall and the feed pin close together give the F shaped side view that names it. It became the standard internal handset antenna for exactly this size reason. Halving a resonator by exploiting a symmetry plane is a technique that recurs throughout antenna design.
