Miniaturized Balanced Antenna with Integrated Balun for Practical LTE Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
A design of dual-band balanced antenna structure operating in the 700 and 2600 MHz LTE bands is studied and investigated. The overall dimensions of the radiator are 50 × 18 × 7 mm allowing it to be easily concealed within mobile handsets. A broad-band balun is designed and integrated with the antenna handset in order to provide the feeding network and perform the measurements of the antenna radiation performance. Prototypes of the proposed antenna with and without balun are fabricated and verified. The simulated and practical results with and without the handheld effects in terms of reflection coefficient, power gain and radiation pattern, are studied and show reasonable agreement.

Compact 30:1 Bandwidth Ratio Balun for Printed Balanced Antennas
A new compact 30 : 1 bandwidth ratio balun and its application to balanced antennas are presented in this paper. To realize the balun-type function, two different types of wideband transition structures are adopted for unbalanced and balanced outputs of the balun. Further, a Vivaldi antenna integrated with the proposed balun is designed and fabricated to validate the feasibility of the new appr...
متن کاملA Wideband Balun — How Does it Work?
Whenever a balanced antenna (i.e., dipole, loop or spiral) is used, the issue of how to feed the antenna becomes relevant. Because a balanced antenna requires a balanced feed, a balun is needed. A balanced antenna fed by a two-wire transmission line is a balanced system with respect to the lines, provided that the two feed points on the balanced antenna have the same orientation and placement w...

A miniaturized V-band active transmit balun suitable for direct attachment to an integrated on-chip dipole antenna is proposed in this work. The circuit is constructed using a 0.35 μm SiGe HBT bipolar process (Infineon fT / fmax=170/250 GHz) operating at 55-65 GHz is fabricated and measured. The circuit exhibits a more than 11 dB conversion gain with magnitude imbalance less than 1 dB and phase...

Rick Sturdivant Hughes Aircraft Company El Segundo, California aluns find wide use in mixer, antenna and balanced amplifiercircuits. Yet balun design is still regarded as if i t were black magic by many engineers, partly due to the fact that practical design information on baluns can be difficult to find. However, many good baluns have been developed over the years and somc are surprisingly sim...
