A Novel Multiband Miniature Planar Inverted F Antenna Design for Bluetooth and WLAN Applications

A novel compact planar inverted F antenna (PIFA) optimized using genetic algorithms for 2.4 GHz (Bluetooth) and 5 GHz (UNII-1, UNII-2, UNII-2 extended, and UNII-3) bands is presented. The patch with a shorting pin is on a 20×7×0.762 mm3 substrate, which is suspended in air 5 mm above a 30×7 mm2 grou...
