Abstract -- A rapid development of telecommunications technology, and over time, the existing network technologies continue to be developed. To create the latest technology called Long Term Evolution (LTE). With the technology that has a high transmission speed, of course, required new devices that can operate on this network. Antennas are needed on these networks is an antenna that is small and easily integrated. In this case, the right antenna to be used is the microstrip antenna. In this paper, which will be designed antenna is an antenna feed line rectangle shapes that can operate at a frequency of 1 GHz. Keywords: LTE. Microstrip Antenna. Frequency of 2. 1 GHz. Antenna Shape. Antenna Feed Line Received: December 24, 2016 INTRODUCTION telecommunication technology is very grown up in the world. It is due to the development of cellular communication (Oktauliah et al. , 2. becomes the public need to be able to communicate efficiently and quickly. An antenna is an essential part of the wireless communication An antenna with high gain performance is required in several applications in the communication field. If this concept is applied to the design of microstrip patch antenna, this causes the increase of microstrip patch antennaAos 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) is a high-speed communications for mobile phones and data Frequencies that are used for LTE are 700 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2300 MHz, and 2600 MHz. The LTE would have to use a new device, in addition to different speeds, the frequency used also must be adjusted (Rahayu et , 2. Data from 4G LTE technology is received by the user through a 4G antenna. 4G antennas are generally small and thin. The microstrip antenna is popular, this is because of simple, small size and easy to create and integrate (Firmansyah et al. , 2. Various form of microstrip antenna that is commonly used such as rectangular, triangle, and square (Balanis, 2. The simplest way of a microstrip substrate is an insertion of two intercellular conductive layers separated by a dielectric substrate (Lee et al. The slot antenna is widely used for a multiband operation. Some of the antennas listed Revised: May 16, 2018 Accepted: May 16, 2018 are widely utilized for multiband operation such as U slot (Huang et al. , 2. , bow tie (Qu and Xue, 2. , and slot V (Pandit et al. , 2. The paper (Amirullah, 2. discusses the multiband antenna using a U-shaped slot on the patch and strip with operating frequency between 1. 96 to 76 GHz . ith 800 MHz bandwidt. While without the strip, the operating frequency obtained 25 GHz to 3 GHz . ith 750 MHz bandwidt. Design Microstrip Antenna using the Defected Ground Structure (DGS) technique of the Dumbbell Square-Head shape on the Linear Array triangle patch is also presented (Hendra et al. This antenna is designed with DGS technique and having an optimum measurement return loss of -40. 081 dB, for a gain of 2. 36 dB and working frequency of 2. 6 GHz. In this paper, we will discuss the design of rectangular microstrip patch antenna with three slots for LTE application 1 GHz. The bandwidth of an antenna is defined as the frequency range in which the antenna work associated with some characteristics . uch as input impedance, radiation pattern, gain and return los. meets the standard specification (Daryanto, 2. In general, the radiation pattern is determined in the far fields region and is represented as a directional coordinator function (Wijaya, 2. The substrate was obtained at a rate of 104. 5 mm and a substrate length of 100 The material for making the antenna is in the patch using a copper material, on the dielectric or substrate using FR-4 material with dielectric constant Ar 4. 4 and has a thickness of 1. 6 mm. (Grag et al. , 2. To determine the Length of the Patch . , it is necessary to parameter il which is Rahayu and I. Pohan.

The filtering channel used in the design to have an input impedance of 50 . obtain the characteristic impedance of the feeder conduit of 50 (Makmur. , several following formulas are used. METHODE In this paper, rectangular with 3 Slot Microstrip Antenna is designed at 2100 MHz. The radius is determined by using the following Equations (Wijaya, 2.

Table 2. Dimension Ground Dimention Size . RESULT AND DISCUSSIONS The design of microstrip antenna working on frequency susceptible 1. 6 GHz up to 2. 6 GHz with the middle frequency is 2. 1 GHz. Software used to perform antenna simulation is CST studio suite 2014 which can display some antenna parameters such as Return loss. VSWR, gain, and radiation pattern. Here are some pictures of the results of simulated designed antennas. Return Loss and Bandwidth The bandwidth value can be known if the lower frequency and upper-frequency values of an antenna are known and return loss can occur due to discontinuities between the transmission lines and the load input impedance . So, it is not all irradiated, but some is reflected back. Here are the pictures that will show the results of the simulation using CST studio suite Figure 3. S-Parameter Figure 3. S-Parameter From the simulation results, we can see that in Fig. 6 shows the value of return loss -32. 03 dB and the bandwidth obtained for 0. 32085 GHz. Voltage Stage Wave Ratio For VSWR simulation results we can see in Fig. Table 3. Optimization Result of the proposed Number Optimization L. Table 3 shows that W 1 size of the ground of antenna may affect the value of the frequency range, bandwidth, and return loss. The optimization result is shown in Fig. 6, which is performed of 4 times. The optimization has been done for W 1 sizes of a ground plane. For the first optimization with size W 1 of 97. 5 mm, the S-1,1 result of -10,038 dB at 1974 MHz, the second optimization with size W 1 of 104. 6 mm, the S-1,1 result of -31,75 dB at 2100 MHz, the third Figure 4. Result VSWR Based on Fig. VSWR value obtained is at number O1. In VSWR this value obtained O 2 or near the 1st antenna that we designed better. so, a good return loss value is smaller or equal to Thus, the working frequency of a good antenna is when its return loss is worth O-9.

CONCLUSION After the simulation can be concluded that the design of the antenna that the bandwidth obtained from the simulation result is 0. The return loss value obtained from the simulation result is quite good -32. 03 dB and that means already under -10dB. VSWR value obtained less than O2 that is on the number O1,0531 dB.
