Abstract

Novel dual-/tri-band conformal capsule antennas with simple configuration are proposed by modifying the ground of a conventional inverted-F antenna (IFA) and shifting the feeding point. With these modifications, the IFA is miniaturized, and yet it is able to simultaneously cover the MedRadio band (401 MHz - 406 MHz) and ISM bands (902 MHz - 928 MHz and/or 2.4 GHz - 2.5GHz). The operating mechanisms of the modified dual-/tri-band IFAs are discussed in this paper. The resulting configurations remain simple and compact, which is very desirable for capsule type of applications. Furthermore, they can also be used in other applications, such as antennas for mobile terminals and wearables.
