Antenna Bandwith Expansion Guide
Method for bandwidth expansion for chip antennas:
Layout with additional "elbow" to GND:
(B) Detailed land pattern with dimensions (+ 2 variables)
Return loss measurement (variables a and b dependent)
Bandwidth Summary with PIFA type. Table-1
Case | New Bandwidth (S11) | Frequency Range |
---|---|---|
1 = 5mm, b=3.25mm, h-direction_1 PIFA | 220 MHZ | 2.32 ~ 2.54GHZ |
a=3mm, b=2.25mm h-direction_3 PIFA | 230MHz | 2.32 ~ 2.55GHz |
