    Antenna constraints for portable devices

    1. electrical size. The antenna can be physically bounded by a spherehaving a radius equal to freespace/2. Planar inverted-F antennaswith shorting pins or/and slots are typical examples of this category.

    2.physical size. An antenna which is not electrically small may featurea substantial size reduction in one dimension or plane. Microstrippatch antennas with ultra low profiles belong to this category.

    3. function. An antenna which is not electrically or physically small insize may possess additional functions without any increase in size.Dielectric resonator antennas operating in multiple modes fit thisdefinition.

    4. Miniaturization. Therefore, the miniaturization of antennas forportable devices can be carried out in various ways

    Technologies to

    miniaturize the antennas

    1.The design and optimization of antenna geometric/mechanicalstructures, in particular, the shape and orientation of the radiators,loading,as well as the feeding network. This is a conventionalapproach and most often employed in antenna design. Inverted-Fantennas, top-loaded dipole antennas, and slotted planar antennasall fall into this category.

    2. The use of non-conducting material.Antennas loaded with ferriteor high-permittivity dielectric materials (for instance, ceramics) areexamples of this type of technology, as is the dielectric resonantantenna.

    3. The application of special fabrication processes. The fabricationof printed circuit boards and low-temperature co-fired ceramics havemade co-planar and multiple-layer microstrip patch antennaspopular. Such technologies are conducive to the mass production ofminiaturized antennas at low cost.

    Design challenges

    New services require higher data rates, increasing number of differentfacilities in the terminal puts great pressure on the available space forantennas.

    Handset designers expect that multiple antennas can be operatedsuccessfully in close proximity to components such as cameras, flashunits, loudspeakers, batteries and the other hardware needed tosupport the growing capabilities of the terminal.

    Design challenge posed by handset antennas is becoming more

    critical as networks evolve to offer a wider range of services

    Example - a pocket-sized mobile terminal to be able to deliver

    telephony (potentially video telephony), high-speed data services,

    location and navigation services, entertainment and more to come

    in the future

    Electrically Small Antennas

    Electrically small antennas are small compared to the

    wavelength. Maximum dimension is less than /2.

    Their performance are closely related to their electrical size. Theproduct of the bandwidth and the gain is a function of the size of the

    antenna, so that the gain can only be increased at the expense of the

    bandwidth, and vice versa.

    An electrically small antenna are highly dependent on the

    environment in which the antenna operates, which must be taken intoaccount. The environment comprises both the device on which the

    antenna is mounted and the surroundings, mainly humans. Therefore, the

    size of the device, the position of the antenna on it and the type of

    antenna convenient for a given application

    Efficiency and Extended Bandwidth

    The Dimensions of the handset chassis The permitted size of

    the antenna. behavior of small unbalanced antennas is strongly

    dependent on the dimensions of the ground plane.

    Classes of Handset Antennas

    Whip antennas:

    A quarter-wavelength whip or blade mounted on a largehandset provides efficiency Unfortunately low-band whips areinconvenient: they typically have to be extended or folded upwhen the phone is in use and the moving mechanical partsare costly and become worn or broken.

    Meanders and coils:

    To make whips more acceptable to users, the simple straightconductor is wound into a helix or meandered so the quarter-wave conductor is contained in a short housing, oftendesigned to be flexible.

    Dual-band whips and coils:

    Provides second tier of mobile services in the high bandsquickly led to requirements for dual-band handsets.

    Early internal antennas:

    One of the earliest forms of internal antenna was a meandering conductoretched on the main printed circuit board (PCB), often configured as a form

    of T or inverted-L antenna. The addition of shunt-feeding to the inverted-Lcreated the inverted-F antenna (IFA) which has become a classic standardform of internal antenna. In the planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) the upperloading wire of the conventional inverted-F becomes a flat plate (Figure2.2(c)).

    Dual-band internal antennas:

    The frequency assignments for the low and high bands are about an octaveapart, so it is not easy to provide an acceptable input VSWR using a singleinternal element. The standard solution is to use two radiating elements fedin parallel at their common point.

    Triple-, quad- and penta-band antennas:

    The growth of world-wide mobile services has seen a progressive increase in

    the number of frequency bands that must be supported by a handset. For a

    quad-band or penta-band antenna, the low-band response must range over

    826960MHz (15.3%) and that of the high band over 17102170MHz(24%). These bandwidths far exceed those of the early dual-band antennas.

    Multiple antennas:

    Techniques such as dual-antenna interference cancellation (DAIC) requirethe provision of a second receiving antenna [17]. The challenge is to find

    room for this second antenna and ensure that neither antenna is blocked by

    the users hand. This requires a second broadband antenna.

    28/32

    Multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) schemes:

    These exploit multipath transmission to enhance the available data rate.Multiple signal samples are transmitted and the data stream is reassembledafter being received by multiple independent receiving antennas.

    Other configurations:

    At the upper end of the market, handsets are becoming ubiquitous terminalsfor communications, information and entertainment. This is drivingrequirements to add antennas capable of supporting GPS, WLAN,Bluetooth and DVB-H, VHF and later medium/high frequency digital radio,Band II analog FM, DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) and DRM (DigitalRadio Mondiale). The antenna designer must not only create new designscapable of providing these facilities but also manage the interactions thatcan limit their usefulness. This represents a major challenge.
