Abstract

This paper presents a Planer Inverted F Antenna (PIFA) for Fourth Generation (4G) Long Term Evaluation (LTE). The proposed antenna is designed on FR4 substrate and the dimension is 22.5 mm x 18.5 mm x 2.8 mm. The Antenna covers the LTE 40 frequency band application from 2.3–2.4 GHz (resonance at 2.35 GHz). Different performance parameters: return loss, VSWR, radiation pattern, current distribution, gain and efficiency are analyzed. The proposed antenna is suitable candidate for 4G LTE mobile phone application due to its compact size and low profile.
