Abstract—This paper presented the analysis and wave frequencies are able to handle much larger capacity than
characterization of a single planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) today’s 4G and handle link between base station to devices, as

PIFA design is used as it is one of the most promising antenna types
because it is small and has a low profile, making it suitable for In order to achieve higher data rate, the wireless device such
