Abstract
A Planar Inverted-F Antenna, PIFA, comprises a sheet of conductive material including first, second, third and fourth contiguous sections, the first and third sections extending orthogonally away from the second section and the fourth section extending away from the third section. The sections are folded relative to one another to define a volume with a height of the second section, a width of the second section and a depth of the third section extending away from the second section. A supporting pin and a feed pin extend from the second section along an outer edge. A supporting leg extends from either the third or fourth sections, the supporting leg lying outside the plane of the supporting pin to support the PIFA when mounted on a printed circuit board, while allowing components to at least partially occupy the volume under the PIFA.
