Wideband Microstrip Antenna Design for 3G and LTE (4G) Mobile Phones

This work proposes a wideband planar microstrip antenna for 3G, LTE and Wi-Fi Bands, describing the simulation, design implementation and measurement. Actually the minaturization of microstrip antennas is an important challenge of radio engineering. The objective is reduce dimensions, weight and cost, in order to meet the miniaturization requirements of portable communication equipment and be installed inside of it. This kind of antenna is sufficiently small to be used on radio mobile devices, which satisfies gain, resonance frequency, impedance and low cost. It covers 1.7 - 2.4 GHz frequency band, which it is assigned to particularly wireless mobile communication services.
