A multi-band frame antenna is used for LTE, MIMO, and other frequency bands. The frame antenna includes a conductive block and a metallic frame with no gaps or discontinuities. The conductive block functions as a system ground and has at least one electronic component mounted on the surface. The outer perimeter of the metallic frame surrounds the conductive block, and there is a gap between the metallic frame and the conductive block. One or more antenna feeds are routed across the gap, between the metallic frame and the conductive block. One or more connections can be made across the gap, and at least one electronic element connects the conductive block to the metallic frame.
