For multi and UWB operation, the proposed design are achieved by inserting U shaped slot on the triangular PIFA with unequal arms, choosing between multi and ultrawide band by adjusting feeding position. Five resonant band of multi band operation is obtained in S‐band, Q‐band, bluetooth band, and WLAN band with acceptable impedance bandwidth. There is an increase in the number of resonant operating frequencies by etching U slot on the shorting feed plate. Ultrawideband is achieved by adjusting coaxial feed to obtained impedance bandwidth 27%. Enhancement impedance bandwidth by using folded shorting plate to improving bandwidth to achieve ultrawide bandwidth around 53%. The proposed antennas have acceptable gain around 11.5 dB. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this paper, two shapes for a low cost reduced size PIFA with wide bandwidth are investigated. The antenna substrate is from a cheap foam material with r ε =1.07. The antenna is fed by single coaxial feed. Size reduction is achieved by cutting U-shaped slot on the radiating surface of the PIFA structure. The antenna size becomes (0.22 λ x 0.18 λ). Wide bandwidth is reached by making the U-shaped slot with two unequal arms. Moreover, dual operating frequencies are achieved by cutting either L-shaped or U-shaped slits on the coupled feeding part of the radiating surface. The antenna resonates in Bluetooth ISM band at 2.4 GHz as well as in WLAN band at 5.2GHz. The bandwidths are about 31% and 7.5% for the lower and upper bands, respectively. The proposed antenna is simple in structure compared to regular stacked or coplanar parasitic patch antennas that, makes it suitable for most mobile communication applications.
