Abstract
Fourth mobile generation requiring of multistandard operating handsets of small physical size as well as increasing demand for higher data rates.Compact multiband printed inverted-F antennas (IFA) for available wireless communications are proposed in this article. New design of printed IFA based on uniplanar compact electromagnetic band gap (EBG) concept is proposed. A printed-IFA with L-loaded shaped over artificial ground plane is designed as the main antenna to cover the GSM, LTE, UMTS, Bluetooth, and WLAN. The multiband is created by means of an EBG structure that is used as a ground plane. Different shapes of uniplanar EBG as ring, split ring resonator, and spiral rather than mushroom-like structure are investigated. The proposed antenna is built on the uniplanar EBG ground plane with size of 35 × 45 mm2, which is suitable for most of the mobile devices. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
