Abstract :A simple planar inverted-f antenna for universal serial bus dongles covering the frequency from 1.6 GHz to more than 3.6 GHz in a single band is presented in this paper. The height of the planar inverted-f antenna is only 3 mm and the dimensions of the ground plane are set equal to the usual size of a universal serial bus dongle insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(20 mm $\times $ 55 mm);. For further enhancement in impedance bandwidth, a rectangular strip is etched on the ground plane. The frequency bands covered by this antenna include LTE / AWS / UMTS insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1700);, DCS insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1800);, PCS / LTE insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1900);, IMT / UMTS insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2000);, AWS / LTE insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2100);, WLAN / Bluetooth insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2450);, WiMAX / LTE insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2500-2700);, and LTE insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3500); and can be employed in universal serial bus dongle applications for 3rd generation and 4th generation wireless communication standards. A prototype of the proposed antenna is fabricated to compare the measured results with the simulated ones.
