In this paper, a novel wideband notched compact UWB antenna is designed to satisfy the licensed UWB frequency bandwidth($3.1{\sim}4.8$ GHz, $7.1{\sim}10.2$ GHz) by symmetrically arranging two adjacent sectorial loop antennas. The wideband($4.8{\sim}7.1$ GHz) notch can be obtained by inserting the inverted-L shaped slits on the patch. The designed UWB antenna has return loss lower than -10dB at 3.1 GHz and over, group delay value lower than 1 ns and the linear phase property. The optimized UWB antenna inserted the inverted-L shaped slits has return loss great than -10dB, 5 ns of group delay, nonlinear phase and decreased gain properties over the frequency band, 4.8 GHz to 7.1 GHz.

In this letter, a new approach is proposed for the design of a multi antenna for MIMO wireless devices. The proposed antenna covers various LTE(Long Term Evolution) service bands: band 17(704~746 MHz), band 13(746~787 MHz), band 5(824~894 MHz), and band 8(880~960 MHz). The proposed main antenna consists of a conventional monopole antenna with an inverted L-shaped slit for wideband operation. The proposed the LTE sub antenna is based on a switch loaded loop antenna structure, with a resonance frequency that can be controlled by capacitance of a logic circuit. The tuning technique for the LTE Rx antenna uses a RF MEMS(Micro-Electro mechanical system) to match the impedances to realize the bands of interest. Because the two proposed antennas are polarized orthogonally to each other, the ECC(Envelope Correlation Coefficient) characteristic between two antennas was measured to be very low (below 0.06) with an isolation characteristic below -20 dB between the two antennas in the operating overall LTE bands. The proposed antenna is particularly attractive for mobile devices that integrate LTE multiple systems.
