Abstract
In this paper, a microstrip antenna for LTE / LTE-A is designed and fabricated for a broadband mobile communication system. The proposed antenna is designed to have the characteristics of using FR-4 (er = 4.3), size of $40mm{\times}50mm$, and LTE / LTE-A frequency bands of 2.3 GHz and 2.5 GHz. 2014, and the simulation result shows that the gain is 2.391 dBi at 2.3 GHz and 2.566 dBi at 2.5 GHz. The S-parameter also showed a result of less than -10 dB (WSWR 2: 1) in the desired frequency band. The broadband mobile communication antenna has been miniaturized, high performance, and light weight, and an excellent and low cost system is continuously being developed, and a broadband mobile communication system is used by many people. Since LTE / LTE-A technology has been proposed according to the development of system and demand, it is expected that many users will design and manufacture antennas satisfying the above conditions and apply the applied technology.
