In this work a dual band GSM/UMTS antenna is
proposed. The antenna is based on a stacked planar structure,
where the combination of collimation by Enhanced
Transmission and the use of parasitic director elements is used
in order to achieve the desired specifications. Full wave
simulation results, obtained using a self created algorithm based
on the FDTD method, as well as measurement results from a
fabricated prototype are presented, showing good agreement.
The proposed antenna finds application in the deployment of
micro and minicell sites in dual 2G/3G networks
