A cavity-Backed Slot Antenna is a type of antenna with slots cut into the surface of the antenna, which is backed by a cavity. You can fill this cavity with air, plastic foam, or dielectric material. The antenna may use capacitive coupling to maintain standing waves on the surface of the slots. Thus increasing efficiency

Microstrip antennas have two parts: a metallic patch and a metallic ground plane. The patch can be built in many different geometrical shapes – rectangles, squares, and circles are the most common. They’re becoming increasingly popular in the cellphone industry. Moreover, the microstrips can be directly printed onto a circuit board – making them highly

Planar inverted- F antenna or PIFA is popularly used in developing mobile devices. The antenna gets its name from being shaped like the letter F but facing downwards. PIFA has been derived from the λ/4 rectangular microstrip. This has allowed it to be small in size and hence extremely useful to make devices that can

The log periodic array is a type of antenna that can function throughout a broad frequency range while still providing gain and directionality. In addition to that, these antennas are used to gain high-frequency or ultra-high-frequency data. Compared to others not all antennas are as active as this one at any given frequency. One-third of

An inverted-F antenna is a variation of quarter-wave monopole antennas that are widely used in telecommunication. The antenna features a conductive rod set at a 90° angle with a conductive ground plane. This type of antenna is fed at the base. Because of its similarities to planar inverted-F antennas or PIFAs, people assume they serve
