Abstract EN
This paper proposes a possible implementation of a compact printed monopole antenna, useful to operate in UMTS and WLAN bands.
In order to accomplish that, a miniaturization technique based on the application of chip inductors is used in conjunction with frequency reconfiguration capability.
The chip inductors change the impedance response of the monopole, allowing to reduce the resonant frequency.
In order to be able to operate the antenna in these two different frequencies, an antenna reconfiguration technique based on PIN diodes is applied.
This procedure allows the change of the active form of the antenna leading to a shift in the resonant frequency.
The prototype measurements show good agreement with the simulation results.
