Abstract

In this paper, we present a dual-band antenna for Long Term Evolution (LTE) handsets. The proposed antenna is composed of a meandered monopole operating in the 700 MHz band and a parasitic element which radiates in the 2.5-2.7 GHz band. Two identical antennas are then closely positioned on the same 120×50 mm² ground plane (Printed Circuit Board) which represents a modern-size PDA-mobile phone. To enhance the port-to-port isolation of the antennas, a neutralization technique is implemented between them. Scattering parameters, radiations patterns and total efficiencies are presented to illustrate the performance of the antenna-system.
