Dual Band LTE Planar Inverted‐F Antenna for M2m Applications

Abstract

A Planar Inverted‐F Antenna for M2M applications is presented. The antenna is located on a rectangular ground plane and operates across both long term evolution frequency bands (690–960 MHz) and (1710–2690 MHz). The low cost antenna has omnidirectional characteristics. The efficiency is better than 80% in both bands and the average gain is more than −2.1 dBi across the whole frequency range. A parametric study of key geometrical parameters is reported. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 55:2925–2929, 2013

A dual band LTEPIFA antenna for M2M applications

“…The variety of new M2M applications takes advantage of LTE's higher bandwidth and low latency . Low profile and broadband antennas covering the LTE frequency range such as PIFAs and monopoles are reported as solutions for these applications. PIFA structures offer low profile omnidirectional radiation characteristics and high efficiencies addressing the requirements for M2M applications.…”

A planar-printed E-shaped omnidirectional magneto-electric dipole antenna for WWAN/LTE applications

“…In these communication systems, the antennas that satisfy the high demand such as wide impedance bandwidth, stable gain, stable and omnidirectional radiation pattern are increasingly desirable. Owing to their advantages including reduction of the numbers of antennas and minimality of installation area, dual‐band antennas have attracted an enormous amount of attention . Meanwhile, over the past decades, tremendous research has been carried out on magneto‐electric (ME) dipole antennas, which can meet the high requirement of wideband mobile communications, due to their excellent electrical characteristics such as broad bandwidth, stable gain as well as nearly identical E ‐ and H ‐plane patterns across the operating band.…”

“…And, the conventional dual‐band antennas are usually arrayed for improved gains . Otherwise, bandwidths and gains have to be compromised . Hence, it is challenging and desirable to propose a novel design of dual‐band ME dipole antenna for WWAN/LTE application with low‐profile structure, stable gains, ease, and low cost to fabricate.…”

Modified Series-Fed Two-Dipole-Array Antenna With Reduced Size

“…In these communication systems, the antennas that satisfy the high demand such as wide impedance bandwidth, stable gain, stable and omnidirectional radiation pattern are increasingly desirable. Owing to their advantages including reduction of the numbers of antennas and minimality of installation area, dual-band antennas have attracted an enormous amount of attention [2][3][4][5]. Meanwhile, over the past decades, tremendous research has been carried out on magnetoelectric (ME) dipole antennas, which can meet the high requirement of wideband mobile communications, due to their excellent electrical characteristics such as broad bandwidth, stable gain as well as nearly identical E-and H-plane patterns across the operating band.…”

“…And, the conventional dual-band antennas are usually arrayed for improved gains [2,3]. Otherwise, bandwidths and gains have to be compromised [1,4,15,16]. Hence, it is challenging and desirable to propose a novel design of dual-band ME dipole antenna for WWAN/LTE application with low-profile structure, stable gains, ease, and low cost to fabricate.…”
