Abstract:
A planar inverted-F antenna, comprising:a planar dielectric substrate;a planar, conductive element disposed on the planar dielectric substrate, wherein the conductive element comprises:a first elongated segment extending along a first direction;a second elongated segment extending along the first direction in adjacent, co-planar, spaced-apart relationship with the first elongated segment; andan intermediate segment having a U-shaped configuration electrically connecting the first and second elongated segments;a signal feed electrically connected to the conductive element first elongated segment and extending outwardly from the conductive element through the planar dielectric substrate; anda ground feed electrically connected to the conductive element first elongated segment adjacent the signal feed and extending outwardly from the conductive element through the planar dielectric substrate.
