Design Of Tunable Dual-Band Antennas For Carrier Aggregation Systems

Single and Dual feed Antennas with dual frequencies have been demonstrated. Varactor diodes are used for independent tuning. The PIFA (Planar Inverted F-Antenna) has two frequencies from 0.7 to 1.1 GHz and from 1.7 to 2.3GHz. Impedance match as much as -10dB an isolation greater than 13dB is assumed. The single feed antenna can be tuned from 1.2 to 1.6GHz and 1.6 to 2.3 GHz. The antenna volumes are 63x100x3.15 mm3 with relative permittivity is 3.55 substrates. The efficiency varies from 25% to 50% over tuning range. The application areas are in 4G wireless systems.
