Abstract

In this work, an overview of design and challenges faced by RF engineers in the LTE/4G implementation from an RF system design perspective has been provided. LTE and LTE Advance form the next generation of the mobile communication standard in few countries. Although, LTE has already been implemented in various parts of the world, researchers are still coming up with new design challenges of such complex systems. Much focus has been thrown upon the antenna design aspect of the LTE/4G based systems. It has been noted that MIMO technology is best suited for the implementation of such robust technology, which aims in providing better channel utilization and reduced signal correlation between the adjacent channels present in the communication link. Further, a compact microstrip antenna operating at 2.4 GHz providing operation at 4G frequency band is presented. The presented antenna has good electrical and radiation characteristics for providing better services for 4G application.

Keywords
