In connection with the development of technology of mobile terminals (cell phones, smartphones, tablets, computers with wireless modems, etc.) in the standards of UMTS (3G) and LTE (4G) great attention of manufacturers of these devices is concentrating on the modernization and development of antenna systems of mobile stations (terminals). Currently, antenna systems of mobile stations is implementing on base of technology in form of complex configuration microstrip transmission lines, which ensure compliance with the requirements of modern wireless communication standards. Adaptive antenna arrays and MIMO antenna systems are implemented in mobile terminals for road and railway transport, which allow to achieve a sustainable reception of signals from the base stations. In this paper analyzes the existing antenna of mobile terminals for 3G and 4G cellular mobile communication systems and evaluates the perspectives of their future development.
