Abstract
This research proposes the use of edge cut on the antenna patch with a modified partial ground plane to overcome the inherent characteristic of the microstrip antenna, which is narrowband. The antenna has to cover all of the LTE frequency bands, which is from 0.824 – 2.4 GHz. FR4 epoxy with a dielectric constant of 4.4 and a thickness of 1.67 mm is used as a substrate for the antenna. The proposed antenna is simulated by an EM Simulator. The simulated results show that the return loss of -18.82 dB and the VSWR of 1.25. These parameters confirms that the antenna is well-matched along with the LTE bands. This wideband antenna has a directional radiation pattern with a maximum gain of 4.65 dB.
