  • Abstract
    The advent of 4G LTE has ushered in a growing demand for embedded antennas that can cover a wide range of frequency bands from 698 MHz to 2.69 GHz. A novel active antenna design is presented in this paper that is capable of covering a wide range of LTE bands while being constrained to a 1.8 cm3 volume. The antenna structure utilizes Ethertronics EtherChip 2.0 to add tunability to the antenna structure. The paper details the motivation behind developing the antenna and further discusses the fabrication of the active antenna architecture on an evaluation board and presents the measured results.
