Abstract
The development of dual-band antennas is increasing, both in terms of methods and its applications in various fields. One of the applications fields that continues to grow with the support of antenna development is LTE. LTE is an evolution of communication technology that develops communications from UMTS to 4G. This research proposes a design of dual-band slotted rectangular microstrip patch antenna that works at LTE frequency bands of 1.8 GHz and 2.3 GHz. The selection of slot values and slot positions is done carefully so that the antenna matches perfectly. The antenna is realized using dielectric material with a relative permittivity of 4.3. The antenna test result shows that the antenna can work at the targeted dual-band frequency with a return loss value of -12.884 dB at 1.8 GHz frequency and -16.744 dB at 2.3 GHz frequency
