Abstract
In this paper, a passive front end for a 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) TDD transceiver comprising a microstrip antenna and filter is presented. The proposed antenna and filter operates in the LTE band 36 (TDD) which extends from 1930MHz to 1990MHz. A patch antenna and Hairpin filter is fabricated with a total area of 43x36mm for the antenna and 38.6x32.16mm for the filter. The proposed devices are fabricated using FR-4 material substrate and the measuring results show good agreement with the simulation results. The fabricated antenna has 2.67dBi directivity, 1.242dB gain, a minimum return loss of -31.85dB at resonant frequency 1950MHz and 150.3 MHz bandwidth at 6dB return loss, while the filter has -3dB BW of 90MHZ, a center frequency of 1950MHz and a fractional bandwidth of 4.615%.
