Abstract
The final goal of this thesis is to figure out if it is possible to design an eight-band LTE antenna for <$0,20 with the same performance, quality and tunability as the current available eight-band LTE antennas. In the introduction the state of the art is presented where the most common currently available comparableantennas and modules are explored. Based on the state of the art, the requirements for the new antenna are set, consisting of a low band of 698-960MHz, a mid band of 1710-2170MHz and a high band of 2496-2690MHz. Based on this the solution is presented and finally 3 antennas are suggested.Antenna I shares the same mid and high band, but operates from 698-894 MHz, while antenna II operates from 805-960MHz due to limitation on the original antenna topology. The third antenna includes a meandered arm for the low band which adds a resonance peak at 960MHz and in this way the bands requirement is met. The antenna was synthesized in two designs and the second design stillneeds an experimental verification. It was concluded that with the given requirements it is possible to design an antenna for below $0,20, but a more in depth experimental verification is needed to check all the requirements.
