Design a multiband LTE antenna with me (from scratch) - Part 1: Specification, model preparation, antenna concept.
In this first step, I:
- Defined the target bands and performance goals
- Simplified the PCB for initial EM simulations
- Drafted the first antenna concept based on available board space
- Ran simulations of the initial design
It’s always beneficial to explore multiple antenna concepts to ensure you’ve considered all possible options and can choose the best one.
Which antenna type would you try in this scenario?
Would you be interested in a video that walks through all these steps in detail?
In the next part, we’ll explore alternative concepts, start drafting matching networks, and include the housing to analyze its impact.
