Abstract

A compact and low profile antenna having LTE B13 MIMO characteristic has been designed and analyzed. For the multiband antenna, the measurement results clearly demonstrated that the antenna operates effectively in all the required GSM850/900/1800/1900 and WCDMA B1/B2/B4/B5/B8 wireless bands. By using different antenna position for LTE B13 Rx, it was possible to study about several performance metrics such as isolation and ECC in MIMO mode. At TLh get a best performance about ECC from radiation patterns and S-parameters that set the ECC goal under 0.5. As a general conclusion, it is important to remark that the compact size, simple structure, omnidirectional properties, multiband coverage, and reasonable MIMO characteristics can make the proposed antenna an attractive candidate for portable multistandard devices.
