Planar inverted-F antenna
First Claim
1. A planar inverted-F antenna comprising:
- a conductive ground element;
a conductive shorting element extending upwardly from said ground element; and
a conductive radiating element disposed above said ground element, and extending transversely from said shorting element, said radiating element including a meandering strip that has apposite first and second ends, said first end of said meandering strip being connected to said shorting element, a first flat plate that has a connecting side which is connected to said second end of said meandering strip, a feeding element having a first end that is coupled to said radiating element, and a second end that extends through and that is free from electrical contact with said ground element, a connecting piece that extends from said meandering strip at a position between the first and second ends of said meandering strip, and that has a first end connected to said meandering strip, and a second end opposite to said first end of said connecting piece; and
a second flat plate that extends from said connecting piece, said second flat plate having a connecting side that is connected to said second end of said connecting piece.

Abstract
A planar inverted-F antenna includes a ground element, a shorting element, a radiating element, and a feeding element. The shorting element extends upwardly from the ground element. The radiating element is disposed above the ground element, and extends transversely from the shorting element. The radiating element includes a meandering strip and a flat plate. The meandering strip has opposite first and second ends. The first end of the meandering strip is coupled to the shorting element. The flat plate has a connecting side that is connected to the second end of the meandering strip and that has a length different from that of the second end of the meandering strip. The feeding element has a first end that is connected to the radiating element, and a second end that extends through and that is free from electrical contact with the ground element.
