The Inverted F Antenna, often abbreviated as IFA, is a popular compact antenna design widely used in mobile devices and wireless communication systems. Its name derives from its shape, resembling an inverted letter “F” when viewed from the side. The IFA is essentially a modified monopole antenna, featuring a vertical radiating element, a horizontal arm, and a ground plane. This design allows for efficient performance in a low-profile form factor, making it ideal for space-constrained applications. IFAs offer good radiation efficiency, relatively wide bandwidth, and can be easily integrated into printed circuit boards. Their versatility extends to supporting multiple frequency bands, making them suitable for various wireless standards, including cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth technologies.
