Abstract
A MIMO dipole antenna with triple band operation for 4 G LTE femtocell is proposed. This designed dipole antenna with a regulated RL ≥ 10 dB can achieve 128/1007 MHz (18.3/39.2 %) for the LTE 700/2300/2500 MHz operating bands respectively. The measured maximum peak antenna gains and efficiencies approach 4.8/7.4 dBi and 92/88 % across 700/2300/2500 MHz bands, respectively, which cover the required bandwidth for 4 G LTE system, and the compliant unidirectional radiation patterns show in XZ- and XY-plane.
