Antenna is a device which converts an electric wave guided by a conductor into a free-space, unguided
electromagnetic wave, and vice versa. Electrical energy is fed to the antenna via a transmission line, a conductor which passes electrical energy from one point to another. A matching device is usually required to ease the abrupt transition between the guided and the free wave. The wave guided by the line is radiated into space by the antenna.
Antenna Classification
There are dozens of antenna types and variations of each. The type of antenna selected for use depends on the propagation characteristics required.
Frequency
Antennas can be classified as single-band antennas (narrow-band antennas), wide-band antennas, dual-band antennas, triple-band antennas, etc

Work Band
It is the work band of LTE system. Many vendors are offering generally antenna product of the following frequency band:
806-960MHz (FDD 850MHz, 900MHz) 1710-2170MHz (FDD 1800MHz, 2100MHz, AWS and TDD Band 33-37, Band 39) 2300-2700MHz (TDD Band 38/40 and FDD 2.6G) 824-960/1710-2180MHz (Dual Band) 2300-2700/2300-2700MHz (for 4T4R MIMO)
Antenna Gain
The antenna is a passive device. It can neither strengthen the signal nor transmit signal by itself. It concentrates the power to a direction by changing the combination of oscillators and changing the feeder mode. Gain is a key index for antenna, standing for the capability of concentrating the power to a direction. There are usually two units for antenna gain: dBi and dBd. The relationship between the two units is as the following equation:
dBi: the capability of concentrating power by actual directional antenna (including omnidirectional) compared with the isotropic antenna. The i in dBi means isotropic.

The antenna gain is relevant to the number of oscillator units, horizontal and vertical beamwidth.
