Bowtie-Feed Broadband Monopole Antenna for Laptop Applications

In this letter, a metal-wire-cutting folded monopole antenna design for laptop applications in Long-Term Evolution (LTE) operation in the bands 1, 7, 8, and 20 is presented. This antenna consists of a folded tab monopole with bowtie feed and shorted structure, making it easy to combine omnidirectional, multiband, and broad bandwidth. The experimental results of the constructed prototype are provided.
