A compact size reconfigurable PIFA antenna for use in mobile handset
  A planar inverted-F type reconfigurable antenna with slot is presented. The antenna can cover frequency bands which include Digital Cellular Service (DCS: 1710-1880 MHz), Personal Communication Service (PCS: 1850-1990 MHz), and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS: 1900-2200 MHz). Initially, the reconfigurability of the proposed antenna is achieved by attaching lumped capacitor over the slit of the radiator with values range from 1.5-4pf. The measured and simulated results reveal that the fabricated proposed antenna is capable of obtaining tunable frequency ratio from 1850MHz to 2200MHz with overall size of 21×13.5×5 mm³ that makes it suitable for handset applications and can be easily integrated inside commercial mobile handsets.
