A multiband antenna design for long term evolution (LTE) application

A simple planar monopole antenna structure is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna gives desirable performance in two band of frequencies ranging from 1.70-2.16 GHz and 3.7-3.9 GHz covering thirteen full LTE bands Bl, B2, B3, B4, B9, BIO, B25, B33, B34, B35, B36, B37, B39 and one LTE band-B43 partially. The parametric study is incorporated to obtain an optimized geometry. The designed antenna structure is simulated using IE3D simulation software and the simulated curves of s-parameter, radiation pattern, gain and efficiency are presented and discussed.
