A tri-band planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) for wireless applications has been presented in this paper. The proposed antenna is compact in size and design on FR4 substrate. The antenna consists of a slotted radiator supported by shorting wall and a small ground plane. Slots in radiating patch have been used to introduce multiband operations into the proposed antenna. The structure is designed and optimized to operate at 2.02GHz, 3.06GHz and 6.1GHz with achievable bandwidths 13.5%, 10% and 16% respectively. These three bands cover the existing wireless communication frequency bands from 1.8- 6.6 GHz. The effects of feed position and shorting wall on return loss, bandwidth, VSWR and gain have been analyzed. Good return loss, antenna gain and radiation pattern characteristics are obtained in the frequency band of interest. Structural dimensions of the proposed antenna are optimized by using HFSS EM solver. Details of the tri-band PIFA characteristics are presented and studied.
