Nischal Kumar Das, Shakti Tripathi, Navaid Z. Rizvi . Performance Analysis of FICA and PIFA Antenna with LNA Co-Design. International Journal of Computer Applications. 64, 20 ( February 2013), 27-30. DOI=10.5120/10751-5708
Smart Dust Wireless Sensor Networks (SDWSNs), which are the members of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) family play a vital role as the requirements on communication node sizes and power consumption have become more stringent. Several low volume antennas have been designed and Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) and antenna co-designs have been devised to increase the level of design integration and reduce the receiver noise. In this paper we simulate two such antennas namely F Inverted Compact Antenna (FICA) and Planar Inverted F Antenna (PIFA) and compare their results to obtain the design with better performance.
