Abstract :
This paper discusses the design of microstrip antenna which is used in cellular communication application especially at LTE 700 MHz network. The antenna was printed using FR-4 substrate material with dielectric constant of □r = 4.65 and thickness of h = 1.6 mm. The overall dimension of the antenna is 135 mm × 32 mm × 1.6 mm with 50 Ω impedance. This antenna operates between 697.6 MHz and 784.9 MHz for return loss of less than -10 dB. The simulation results suggest that the antenna gain ranges between 1.5 dBi and 2 dBi with omnidirectional radiation pattern.
