Abstract :
The broadcast television spectrum around 600 MHz has been freed in the united states and will be put for auction to wireless carriers in 2015. The newest generation of mobile communication standards will be deployed on these newly available bands, to provide mobile device users with an enhanced connectivity. This paper proposes a novel antenna design that overcomes the bandwidth challenge of such low operating frequencies on handsets.
