Abstract :
In this work a compact automotive antenna optimized for the 800MHz band of the Long Term Evolution (LTE) communication standard is proposed. The inverted F antenna´s (IFA´s) radiation pattern is determined by a special antenna synthesis method. To overcome the narrowing of the bandwidth resulting from miniaturization of the antenna a parasitic element near the fed element is used. Finally the antenna is simulated, realized and measured.
