A LTE Band Integrated 5G Antenna Design using Characteristic Mode Analysis

This paper presents a LTE band integrated 5G communication antennas designed on a handheld size ground plane of dimension 150mm×70mm. In the lower bands, the antenna operates over 0.69-1.19GHz, 2.29-3.29GHz, 3.93-4.6 GHz, 5.52-6.45GHz range. These antennas are implemented in 2 elements multiple input multiple output (MIMO) configuration. In addition, for the 28 GHz millimetre (mm) wave band, 8 elements patch array has been placed on two sides of the ground plane for beam steering. The lower band antennas have been designed using the characteristic mode analysis and the isolation improvement mechanism has been developed. The fabricated and other results would be presented during the conference.
