These antennas do not require any passive or active lumped elements for input impedance matching. One of them is a dual-band antenna and the other is a wideband antenna. Both antennas have high efficiency in all the LSA bands, as well as the mid- and high-LTE bands, and nearly omnidirectional radiation patterns in the mid band. In the high band, the radiation patterns of the wideband antenna are less directional than those of the dual-band antenna. The wideband antenna was fabricated and tested and the measurements demonstrated that it had good wideband performance in a wide frequency range from 1.37 to 4 GHz, covering all the above-mentioned bands.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23042095","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,13]],"date-time":"2023-02-13T05:25:26Z","timestamp":1676265926000},"page":"2095","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Antennas for Licensed Shared Access in 5G Communications with LTE Mid- and High-Band Coverage"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Khaled M.","family":"Morshed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW 2109, Australia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6614-5064","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Debabrata K.","family":"Karmokar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UniSA STEM, University of South Australia (UniSA), Mawson Lakes, SA 5095, Australia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3681-0086","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karu P.","family":"Esselle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical and Data Engineering, University of Technology Sydney, Ultimo, NSW 2007, Australia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"John, D.M., Vincent, S., Pathan, S., Kumar, P., and Ali, T.
