Abstract :
A single multiband and wideband antenna for vehicle and hot-spot 3/4G applications, which covers the 750-1050 MHz and 1700-2900 MHz frequency bands, is presented. It consists of transposed coplanar waveguide radiating elements that are arranged collinearly. Optimisation for VSWR <; 2:1 bandwidth is the main design consideration. The patches are printed on common 1.6 mm thick FR-4 PCB.
