Abstract

In this paper, a multi-band antenna for 4G wireless systems is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of a modified planar inverted-F antenna with additional branch line for wide bandwidth and a folded monopole antenna. The antenna provides wide bandwidth for covering the hepta-band LTE/GSM/UMTS operation. The measured 6-dB return loss bandwidth was 169 MHz (793 MHz-962 MHz) at the low frequency band and 1030 MHz (1700 MHz-2730 MHz) at the high frequency band. The overall dimension of the proposed antenna is 55 mm × 110 mm × 5 mm.
