The compact quad-band mobile handset antenna for the LTE700 MIMO application

In this paper, we present a novel two monopole antenna for LTE band class 13 (746 MHz-787 MHz, for MIMO application) / GPS (at L1 band:1565 MHz-1585 MHz) / PCS (1810 MHz-1990 MHz) / UMTS(1920 MHz-2170 MHz) band operations. The proposed antennas are composed of two conventional monopole antennas and these antennas are connected by suspended line to reduce the mutual coupling between the antenna elements. Total PCB size is 40mm (W) x 80mm (Z) with 1 mm thickness, and the antenna space is 40 x 20 x 5 mm 3 .
