Printed Antenna Design for LTE Mobile Applications

The compact Planar Monopole antenna is proposed for the multiband application. The antenna is constituted of meandered shape which assists to achieve multiband frequency. The antenna is fabricated on dimensions of 118 × 70 × 1.6mm
³
using glass epoxy FR4 (er =4.4) substrate. The antenna optimized for GSM 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, LTE 2300 (2.3 GHz to 2.4 GHz) and LTE 2600 (2.6GHz), using Altair FEKO 14.0 EM simulator. The proposed antenna is a compact antenna and furnish space for other RF circuits with respect to other proposed LTE antenna. The proposed antenna depicts good impedance matching, high gain, and radiation efficiency over the desired frequency band of interest.
