Novel ceramic antenna filters for GSM/DECT and GSM/PCN network terminals

Abstract

Dual modeband communication networks have emerged as a step towards the true third generation communication networks UMTS and FPLMTS. In this paper, novel ceramic antenna filters for GSM/DECT and GSM/PCN network terminals are described. The performance of the GSM/DECT and GSM/PCN antenna filters is evaluated by simulation results. Furthermore, the performance of the GSM/DECT antenna filter is evaluated by measurement results. It is found out that both of the described antenna filters indicate a substantial improvement to the present state of antenna filtering design.
