Abstract

This work describes a compact tablet monopole antenna with eight-band LTE/WWAN operation by introducing a G-shaped driven monopole strip. The obtained impedance bandwidths across dual operating bands approach 264 / 1046 MHz at the LTE and WWAN bands, respectively. Given that the overall antenna size is only 35 × 10 × 0.8 mm³, the proposed planar monopole antenna provides more than 40% reduction in antenna size over that of the conventional ones. Additionally, the measured peak gains and antenna efficiencies are approximately 3.6 / 5.2 dBi and 67 / 70 % for the LTE/WWAN bands, respectively.
