Abstract
In this article, a compact design of a flexible planar inverted‐F antenna (PIFA) is proposed for triple‐band (GSM/DCS/PCS) mobile phone application. The main radiating element of the antenna, which generates the GSM and DCS resonant modes, is printed on a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) and rolled in a form of cylinder. To improve the construction stability of the antenna, a metallic rod is inserted into the centre of the rolled antenna. The metallic rod acting as a parasitic element of the antenna also generates the PCS resonant mode. The antenna prototype was fabricated and measured. Good agreement between the measurement and simulation results is obtained. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
