A REVIEW PAPER ON MINIATURIZED PLANAR INVERTED-F ANTENNA (PIFA) FOR 5G

Abstract

This paper provides a comprehensive review on the designing of the miniaturized Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA) for 5G communication networks, including Long-Term Evolution (LTE) Advanced mobile communication services. By showing the radiation pattern, voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) and antenna gain of the designed Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA), this review paper evaluates its performance. To show the key characteristics of the Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA), this paper modelled and simulated it with various variances. Moreover, the real Planar Inverted-F Antenna was fabricated and measurements were done to validate the simulated characteristics of the internal antenna. This paper provides a detailed review on the design and analysis of existing PIFA antennas that have been validated by various researchers during last decade across the globe.
