Abstract:
In this article, a miniaturized antenna is proposed for 4G/5G multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) applications for smartphones. The proposed antenna is composed of an inverted L-shaped antenna with decoupled elements to cover 4G (2000-2600 MHz), and a planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) with a J-slot to cover 5G (3400-3600 MHz and 4800-5000 MHz). Furthermore, to achieve the purposes of miniaturization and decoupling, the structure adopts a feeding stub, shorting stub, and outstanding floor, additionally adding the slot to the PIFA, to generate additional frequency bands. Due to the advantages such as multiband operation, MIMO configuration for 5G communications, high isolation, and a compact structure, the proposed antenna design is attractive for 4G/5G smartphones. The antenna array is printed on an FR4 dielectric board, measuring 140 × 70 × 0.8 mm3, with the 4G antenna located on a top 15 mm-long headroom.
