Abstract
A low profile antenna array is designed in this work to support multiple bands for high data rates. Antenna array consists of main antenna and auxiliary antenna. Main antenna meant for long term evolution (LTE)/wireless wide area network (WWAN) application. Auxiliary antenna is used to increase the bandwidth. Proposed antenna array with low profile supports the LTE-700, GSM-850, GSM-900, GSM-1800, GSM-1900, UMTS-1900, UMTS-2100, LTE-2300, and LTE-2500. Coupled feed loop and monopole type elements are embedded in antenna array to get wide lower and upper bands. Chip inductor is used in the design to minimize the physical length required for desired resonant modes. Both the antennas together provide the constructional requirements to get the LTE MIMO operation. The radiating strips are shorted to the ground plane to achieve the required bandwidth. Folded radiating strips are also employed in the design for the low profile so that the proposed antenna arrangement may be best suitable for modern mobiles in which the area occupied by each element is a very important design metric.
