Design of a novel multiband antenna for mobile terminals

A multiband compact planar terminal antenna is designed and proposed in this paper, which is suitable for multi-functional wireless communication systems. The proposed antenna consists of a patch with two slots on it and a meandered strip loaded on the top. Two parasitic stubs are etched at the back of the antenna to widen the operating frequency band. The operating bandwidths of the antenna cover GSM900, DCS, PCS, UMTS, LTE2500, and LTE's low-frequency band (450-470MHz). Both of simulation and measurement results are shown to illustrate the good performance of the proposed antenna. It is very suitable for terminal applications in wireless communication systems.
