With the introduction of the fourth generation (4G) of cellular mobile communications, there has been an increase in the frequency bands that a generic mobile phone should be able to operate. This requirement poses some challenges in the design of the transceiver modules of the device as well as the RF front-end and the antenna. From the...

Two antenna designs, using MEMS switches for operating band reconfigurability are presented in this paper. The study has been carried out in the scope of ARTEMOS project, whose main target is to propose tunable architectures for future mobile terminals. For this purpose, two antenna designs to cover 700-960MHz and 1.7-2.7GHz are proposed., The...

In this paper, two antenna designs using active components are presented for reflection coefficient tunability. The antennas are designed within the scope of the Artemos project and use MEMS switches and BST tunable capacitors internally available in the project. The first antenna uses an SPDT MEMS switch to select between one of the two target...

In this paper, an innovative 4G antenna solution operating in the 698-960 MHz band, is presented. It is composed of two radiating elements recombined in a single feed antenna-system using an integrated power divider/combiner, synthesized thanks to five lumped components. Simulations using realistic SMD (Surface Mount Devices) components allow...
