With the advances in the communication and RF technology, the sizes of communication devices are getting smaller at a very fast pace. Smart phones, Bluetooth earphones, navigation devices, and GPS systems are all examples of communication systems with small form factors. For these small form factor devices, miniature sized components are required. One of the most important components in any wireless communication or RF system is the antenna. There are many different types of antennas which come in many different sizes. However, with the advancements in microelectronics technology, the antennas can now be built into microchips. Such antennas are known as chip antennas and they are ideal for compact sized applications due to their small footprints. Such antennas are widely used in smart phones and WiFi routers. These small sized antennas can easily be integrated into PCBs and are also very cost effective.
