Final Year Project

Project Title

Improving an Empirical Equation for Resonant Frequency of Planar Inverted-F Antenna

Description

The project is based on the research of one of the types of antenna known as “planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA)”. These antennas are mostly used in mobile phones because they are smaller in size and can be easily integrated into printed circuit boards (PCBs). The aim of the project is to develop empirical formulas for predicting the resonant frequency of PIFA by studying the physical parameters of PIFA including the dimensions and positions of the (top) planar element, shorting plate, feed plate, and ground plane. The influence of various parameters on antenna characteristics (resonant frequency) is investigated comprehensively using simulation software HFSS. The proposed empirical expressions for resonant frequency are more accurate as compared to the existing empirical expressions and the proposed expressions can also aid the design of PIFA.
