Multi-band base station antenna with compact microstrip resonant cell filters

Research output: Journal Publications and Reviews › RGC 22 - Publication in policy or professional journal

Abstract

A wide bandwidth multi-band antenna is designed and tested. The design is based on a dual-band patch antenna with the incorporation of microstrip band-stop filters. The antenna consists of two L-shaped probe patch antenna elements operating at different frequency bands. Two compact microstrip resonant cells are connected to the microstrip feed line to stop the transmission of higher frequency signals into the lower frequency detecting patch. As a result, the impedance bandwidths of the elements are wide enough to allow coverage of all the frequency ranges used in mobile communications; namely, five: CDMA800 (824∼896 MHz), GSM900 (870∼960 MHz), GSM1800 (1710∼1880 MHz), CDMA1900 (1850∼1990 MHz) and UMTS (1920∼2170 MHz). © IEE, 2004.
