Abstract

A coupled-fed antenna design capable of covering eight-band WWAN/LTE operation in a smartphone and suitable to integrate with a USB connector is presented. The antenna comprises an asymmetric T-shaped monopole as a coupling feed and a radiator as well, and a coupled-fed loop strip shorted to the ground plane. The antenna generates a wide lower band to cover (824-960 MHz) for GSM850/900 operation and a very wide upper band of larger than 1 GHz to cover the GPS/GSM1800/1900/UMTS/LTE2300/2500 operation (1565-2690 MHz). The proposed antenna provides wideband operation and exhibits great flexible behavior. The antenna is capable of providing eight-band operation for nine different sizes of PCBs, and enhance impedance matching only by varying a single element length, L. Details of proposed antenna, parameters and performance are presented and discussed in this paper.
