Abstract

A miniature wire antenna includes N rectangular metal plates located at a first layer of a PCB, a tunable metal plate located at the first layer of the PCB and N serpentine lines located at a second layer of the PCB. The positions of the N serpentine lines correspond to the positions of the rectangular metal plates. A first end of each of the serpentine lines is connected to the corresponding rectangular metal plate, and a second end of each of the serpentine lines is connected to the next rectangular metal plate. A first end of the last serpentine line is connected to the corresponding rectangular metal plate, and a second end of the last serpentine line is connected to the tunable metal plate.
